WELCOME TO OUR NEWSLETTER 04
In this issue we introduce our new quantitative analysis art service. ‘The Art World in Numbers’ is web-based journal in which Raymond Ellis will be analysing aspects of the art world, such as art collecting, secondary market estimates and hammer prices. In partnership with Nando’s, we announce this year’s nominees for the Nando’s UK Serve Art Programme and marvel at the largest beadwork created to date by the Qubeka Bead Artists. â¨Lastly, we reveal that Union House, our home and the creative hub now so familiar to our supporters at Nando’s, Hollard, Etana and Spier, has also launched its very own website.
