Retail Therapy: Living art
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.THE Contemporary Art Society Market returns to Covent Garden next week, offering the opportunity to buy works by living British artists. The idea is to make buying art fun and accessible. Taking a tip from sponsors Sainsbury, the market will be adopting a cash-and-carry formula to enable visitors to take their purchases home. The shelves will promptly be refilled. Original paintings, prints and sculptures by young and established artists will sell for prices ranging from pounds 100 to pounds 1,750. Star bargains will include works by Dame Elisabeth Frink, Maggi Hambling, Prunella Clough, Patrick Procktor and Tom Phillips.
The Contemporary Art Society Market is at Smith's Galleries, 25 Neal Street, Covent Garden, London WC2, 27 October- 1 November (Tue-Fri 11am- 7pm, Sat-Sun 11am-5pm).
