Paul Fryer's LET THERE BE MORE LIGHT, Marylebone, London, 14-21 Oct

Posted on August 20, 2008 at 3:01 PM.

Pioneering artist Paul Fryer will be one of the first to exhibit works that will become part of an investment-based contemporary art collection and radical new model for the art world.

Fryer's solo is also the inaugural exhibition of this new arts funding partnership backed by 'super-agents', an exclusive 'production house' called All Visual Arts, which is certainly sure to provoke some hot and healthy debate within the art world.

This ongoing project will clearly raise issues regarding the massive redefining of roles that will continue to challenge art market players for years to come. Potentially stimulating an open dialogue not too unlike the issues raised regarding the commercialism of Andy Warhol's 'Factory'. The difference in this case is that the leadership consists of a dealer/ investor partnership of note.

All Visual Arts' cumulative experience in cutting-edge contemporary art and commercial investment is an equal match for this high risk/return venture. The partnership was founded in March of this year by UK Director of Artnet Joe La Placa and founder and CEO of BlueCrest Capital Management Mike Platt, European Hedge Fund of the year in 2006 and 2008 and a former star JP Morgan trader.

Paul Fryer's aluminum Tuning Forks loom over the visitor, evoking a reverence for a faith not yet discovered... The show "Let there be more Light" will feature spectacular new works by Paul Fryer ranging from a child-size waxwork Lucifer to a full scale wooden replica of a V2 rocket. It will be held during 'Frieze Week' 14-21 October 2008 and will be held in collaboration with Dickinson gallery in Mayfair, where further works will be shown.
