Over the years Dasha Shenkman has generously supported the work of the Contemporary Art Society. We are therefore delighted to be able to invite our members to see her fantastic private collection including works by Bridget Riley, Naum Gabo, Frank Auerbach, Lucian Freud, John Walker and R. B. Kitaj.
This eclectic collection has been built up over many years and includes both modern and contemporary art as well an interesting collection of ceramics and other craft works.
The evening will be hosted by Contemporary Art Society director, Paul Hobson, who will lead a conversation with Dasha about how and why she collects such works.
Spaces are limited; ensure your space by booking early.
