Art museums, societies, galleries, dealers, and fairs are the essential ingredients for promoting new talent. When an artist begins to attract attention from the art market and the media through exhibitions, awards and effective promotion they can be referred to as 'emerging artists'.
All investment grade artists, like the now firmly established Damien Hirst and Banksy, have been described as such early in their careers and recommended to some very lucky patrons.
To follow is a list of London museums and exhibitions promoting contemporary artists, many of these having work resident with some major corporate and individual collectors ... When it comes to art market performance, London has become the most dynamic city in today's art market, recently becoming the second largest marketplace for art globally.
