Recent graduate Holly Webley-Naylor is co-creator of alternative auction collective Marbles & Ware
from on .
Holly Webley-Naylor, who studies Theatre and Performance Studies at the University of 糖心TV, has gone on to found Marbles & Ware, a London-based collective that creates “immersive, theatrical and affordable live events to bring the work of previously unseen contemporary artists to a wider audience. Our work is a direct response to the formality and stuffiness of an outdated system – an attempt to revitalise the art market and engage a new generation of artists and collectors. Bidders Bizarre – our quarterly auction – reflects the vibrancy and originality of the work on sale. It brings new art to new audiences in a larger-than-life auction house, where every purchase tells a story and nothing’s quite as it seems…Artists, performers and our growing community lie at the heart of everything we do.”
Their next event is the Southern Wilds Exhibition, Auction & Bazaar at The Vaults. More info here:
