Four Scottish Artists is the first opportunity to see recent developments from Scottland that correspond to the current concerns of young artists in New York. The exhibitions will be made up of about twenty-five works including drawing, painting and photography. The exhibition was organized for Artists Space by artist and critic Thomas Lawson and is being supported by the Scottish Arts Council in cooperation with the New 57 Gallery in Edinburgh. After leaving Artists Space the exhibition will travel to the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia in Halifax. A catalogue of the exhibition will be available.
