Overview
Pioneered by Angela Flowers in 1983 Artist of the Day is an annual event whereby ten selectors choose an artist to each hold a one day solo exhibition over the course of two weeks.
Paula Rego, Bridget Riley, Gilbert and George, Helen Chadwick, Anish Kapoor, Mona Hatoum and Anthony Gormley have all been previous selectors. This year Julian Opie, Tim Head, Alison Wilding and Chantal Joffe are among the list of ten patrons for 2011, in which each has selected a promising or as yet under-valued talent.
