SCOPE Art Show answers demand for alternative
platform presenting international contemporary art
LONDON − SCOPE proudly returns to London for its fifth year, answering the demand for an
alternative platform presenting international contemporary art. After a two year hiatus watching
the world markets settle, SCOPE London 2011 confidently returns to London’s dynamic East
End arts and media quarter. SCOPE’s monumental venue, The Old Truman Brewery, perfectly
compliments SCOPE’s core mission of introducing international collectors to contemporary art
presented alongside museum quality programming, VIP tours, screenings, and special events.
SCOPE London opens to Press and VIP’s on Thursday October 13th with the FirstView Benefit.
This year’s London edition brings a real-time international survey of the contemporary art world
available nowhere else by focusing on 45 international exhibitors upholding SCOPE’s unique
tradition of one-person and thematic group shows. “SCOPE London 2011 proves we have
watched the market and responded with calculated timing to a wide audience of taste makers
who make art their business” says SCOPE President & Founder Alexis Hubshman. “Introducing
artists, curators, and cutting-edge galleries to international audiences will make SCOPE London
the most comprehensive destination for the emerging art world this October.”
With over 40 fairs spanning ten years in Miami, Basel, New York, London, and the Hamptons,
SCOPE Art Show’s have hosted an impressive line-up of A-list galleries, blue-chip institutional
groups, and respected patrons, garnering critical acclaim, sales of over $150 million and
attendance of over 350,000 visitors.
