Students of The Glasgow School of Art MFA programme are delighted to announce that this year’s auction will include works by Turner Prize nominees and winners such as Simon Starling, Luke Fowler, Jim Lambie, and Karla Black in addition to many other internationally renowned artists including  Ryan Gander and Teresa Margolles.

The annual MFA auction is produced by second year Master’s students. Proceeds from this year's auction will be going towards a post-degree projects initiated and organized by the graduation year in collaboration with art professionals in Glasgow and internationally. The auction remains an essential date in the diary of both established and developing art collectors, offering the opportunity to purchase work by internationally recognised contemporary artists and invest in works by artists who will become the stars of the future. With reserves on the works in the Silent Auction at £25, there is something for all budgets and tastes.

The Silent Auction allows bidders to view an exhibition of over fifty works in a variety of media produced by MFA students and other emerging artists.  Bids may be placed on these works during a two-hour period.

Saving the best for last, the Live Auction is the main event of the evening. From 8.30pm onwards, Campbell Armour, Director of Edinburgh auction house Lyon and Turnbull hosts a traditional auction.

MFA Auction 2012

Orangutan

Orangutan is an exhibition of new work by Alex Impey which follows the culmination of his one-year Gordon Foundation Graduate Fellowship at Glasgow Sculpture Studios (GSS). It continues a way of working in which, through sculpture and language use, Impey sets form production and processing of particularities against means of making visible simple backgrounds of expectation, interpretation and purpose. The installation experiments with inversions of territory claiming and figures of expense resulting from movements of intention.

Alex Impey was born in 1981 in Stockport, UK. He holds a BA from The Slade School of Fine Art and an MFA from Glasgow School of Art. Recent exhibitions were at sic! Raum Fur Kunst, Lucerne, CCA Glasgow, and Transmission Gallery. Publications include Oil past colour and Span, (2HB Vol.9).

The fellowship for MFA graduates of Glasgow School of Art is funded by The Gordon Foundation & The Hope Scott Trust. Exhibition runs from 17 November – 15 December 2012. Gallery opening hours are Wednesday – Saturday, 11am – 5pm, or by appointment and entry is FREE.
