100
Painters of Tomorrow
Open Call for Entries -
Deadline: March 15th, 2013
Painting is enjoying a remarkable creative renaissance in the 21st
century, with many of the world’s leading artists now working in this
most enduring and seductive of media. 100 Painters of Tomorrow is an
ambitious new project, initiated by curator and gallerist Kurt Beers*
and the publishers Thames & Hudson**, to find the 100 most
exciting painters at work today. Culminating in a major publication
that will introduce and present each artist and their work, creating a
snapshot of the best new talent in painting from across the globe,
submissions are invited from artists via this website from 15 January –
15 March 2013.

The open call for submissions is international and open to any artist
who uses paint as their primary medium. There is no age limit for
entry, but each of the selected artists will have gained professional
recognition in the last five years (that is, since 2008/9) through
education, gallery representation or in the production of a significant
body of work.
100 Painters of Tomorrow, edited by Kurt Beers, will be published by
Thames & Hudson in 2014 and accompanied by a major exhibition
of contemporary painting at London’s Institute of Contemporary Arts.
The publication will feature texts giving essential biographical
information on these rising stars, accompanied by quotations from the
artists themselves, providing personal insights into their thinking and
practice. Lavishly illustrated with more than 300 colour images, it
will be the intelligent and definitive guide to the outstanding
painters of the future.
Artists’ submissions will be judged by an international jury featuring
some of the most prominent names in contemporary art, including the
painter Cecily Brown, curators Sir Norman Rosenthal, Yuko Hasegawa,
Gregor Muir and Suzanne Cotter, and writer-critics Tony Godfrey,
Suzanne Hudson, Philip Tinari and Barry Schwabsky. In addition, more
than 100 of the world’s leading art schools have been directly invited
to participate, nominating recent graduates to submit their
applications.

Neurath. Their passion and mission for T&H was that its books
should reveal the world of art to the general public, to create a
‘museum without walls’ and to make accessible to a broad,
non-specialist reading public, at prices it could afford, the research
and the findings of top scholars and academics. Thames & Hudson
now publishes approximately 180 new titles each year and has a current
backlist of over 2000 titles. The company specializes in the arts
(fine, applied, decorative, performing), archaeology and history,
architecture, design, photography, travel and popular culture. www.thamesandhudson.com/ |
