Start a Collection: Works from the Estate of Zsuzsi Roboz (1929-2012)
Start a Collection: David Messum Fine Art, St. James’s, London
Wednesday 31st July - Friday 2nd August 2024
A unique opportunity to explore and acquire works from the Estate of Zsuzsi Roboz at reduced Start a Collection prices.
This year's Start a Collection offers a wonderful opportunity to acquire an artwork by Zsuzsi Roboz, to benefit the Alfred Teddy Smith and Zsuzsi Roboz Art Trust.
“Throughout her life, Zsuzsi had been sympathetic towards young artists and so the primary aim of the trust has always been to encourage emerging artists with bursaries, scholarships and other kinds of grants, as well as financing lectures and other artistic research. The sale will take place at our gallery in St. James’s, where there will be opportunities to buy from the collection of framed and unframed oils, studio sketches, pastels and works on paper, as well as small-scale sculpture.
Start a Collection was conceived by David Messum over 20 years ago to provide a platform from which first-time buyers could purchase with confidence. That defining moment proved to be a building block for many established collections and numerous new friendships. For that reason, Start a Collection remains an eagerly awaited event in our exhibition calendar for our clients.”
Established in 2015 in partnership with the Alfred Teddy Smith and Zsuzsi Roboz Art Trust, The Zsuzsi RobozScholarship is an opportunity for emerging artists to develop their creative vision and skills under the guidance of staff from Morley College London’s School of Visual and Digital Arts, based at out Waterloo Centre for Adult Education as well as tutors at our North Kensington Centre for Skills in W10.
Recipients of the scholarship undertake a year of part-time, tailored study at Morley College London, with personal tutoring from professional artists throughout the year, and a public exhibition of their work at the end of the scholarship period.
