Between 12th - 16th January 2011 Elms Lesters will be showing a selection of works by Adam Neate at the first ever Art Stage Singapore art fair which will be held at Marina Bay Sands Exhibition and Convention Centre.

SHEEEET! To my knowledge, possibly the first time we get urban art exhibited here. Been wondering if I have to get to the UK to ever see anything. And during my birthday too. Nice. Thanks for the update.

Nice to see Adam get out of the UK for a change. Maybe some day he'll come stateside. Think he'd do really well over here.

[mikeT]

Yeah, big things been happening for contemporary art here this year, but only for the more 'global' artists like Hirst, Murakami, Zhang Xiaogang....

Hopefully, Adam paves the way for the likes of Micallef, Eine, Missbugs and of course, Banksy in Asia. These guys deserve world recognition (including this eastern end of it) sooner rather than later.

Ironically, the rooftop of the venue caught a small fire this evening, but no biggie. Mr Neate, we'll still wait on you to come bearing the torch and light up the scene here. Great move, Elms.

Good point. Apart from the Miss Bugs bit.

Why not MB Tufty?

even better than a genius..

This is really great news for Neate and his fans.

Can't wait to see where this takes him!

Art Fairs are like tupperware parties.

Shit.

[mikeT]

A lot of things are shit, if you look closely around you.

[joeschmo]

Would love to see Banksy try to show in China.... just for the sheer PR melt down it would cause.

Adam Neate to do either an LA/NY solo show of serious proportion would be a mind blower as well.

Neate's a gerius, but will never be fully recognised until he starts showing somewhere other than London. It's no good being a genius unless people beyond a 5 mile radius get to see the work. I hope the Singapore sojourn sparks something off for him. He is head and shoulders above a lot of the dross that is debated on this forum.

i think Brazil might be further than 5 miles away from London, not too sure though.

thanks for these pictures, shame there were no new pieces in this exhibition.

that looks like a very large banksy canvas..? is that the original size?

[Gentle Mental]

Over 3 meters! gallery wants around US$600k for it. i think.

Sale Ends works so much better on this scale, never been a fan of the print but the canvass is immense!!

those Neates, particularly the first one, are amazing - did you catch what price they were up for?

[Gentle Mental]

50k pounds for the big one...28k pounds for the smaller one. cheap!
