For Art's Sake
Birds from Edd Pearman

It's no secret that, these days, it's all about the art. "Invest, view, make", they say.

Now, extended runs aren't purely limited to theatre productions. Richard Patterson's 'Paintings from Dallas' are, we hear, so popular that the Timothy Taylor Gallery have added weeks to his current exhibition (or perhaps the scheduled artist bailed). Galleries are extending spaces (no, I didn't make it to the off-site part of La La Land, either - far too many temptations en route).

So, because it's that time of year (Jesus, that was cheap) and because, believe us, you need to know, here are Urban Junkies' Christmas spectres of past, present and future:

Past: The new Mark Jason Gallery launched last Monday with an exhibition entitled Nude and Bird Studies by artist Edd Pearman. They're rather collectable, we feel.

Present: fashionart.com. Loving it. Great for purchasing top illustrators' works minus the gallery pricepoints, it purveys exclusive, limited edition prints from artists such as Natasha Law, Daisy de Villeneuve and Molly Molloy. Ranging between £150 and £395, these could make the perfect Christmas present for that special someone. (Note to self: Stop. Now.)

Future: Brighten up the colder months (It's fine, I'll leave of my own accord) with the thought of a Saatchi relocation (and, let's hope, rethink - dear Charles is going a bit Madonna on us) and rumour of another White Cube gallery opening. Just think of the parties!

So there you have it... The three artworld crimbo kings.

OK. I'm gone.
