Ice Cream
Description
In 1998 we published
cream,
which initiated our 10x10 formula: Phaidon asked 10 curators to select 10 emerging artists. Among the 100 chosen many are now established artists, including Maurizio Cattalan, Tacita Dean, Olafur Eliasson and Thomas Hirschhorn, positioning the Cream series at the pinnacle of contemporary art surveys.
Ice Cream
reveals the next generation of emerging artists as selected by a fresh group of curators--
Sergio Edelsztein, Jens Hoffmann, Lisette Lagnado, Midori Matsui, Shamim Momin,
Pi Li,
Gloria Sutton, Olesya Turkina, Philippe Vergne,
and
The Wrong Gallery

Part of what makes Ice Cream so fresh is that the curators are as exciting as the artists'Dazed & Confused 'If you like to keep up with all things cool, you'll love dipping into the pages of Ice Cream for tips on budding young artists'
Vogue 'A spot-on resource for the general reader looking for a snapshot of contemporary art today.'
