We are delighted to offer Collector Members a unique opportunity to hear Dryden Goodwin in-conversation with Louis and Sarah Elson about his recently completed portrait of Louis. Providing an insight into the portrait commission process, and the special relationship between artist and collector it entails, this event is not to be missed.
Dryden Goodwin has completed major public projects and exhibitions including Linear for Art on the Underground (2010-2011), Cast at the Photographers Gallery (2008), Flight at the Chisenhale Gallery (2006), Draw In/Draw Out at the New Art Gallery Walsall (2004) and Closer, an Art Now Commission at Tate Britain (2002).
Sarah Elson is a Trustee of the Contemporary Art Society, was the Chair of the Material Worlds fundraiser (2011) and is Chair of the 2012 Contemporary Art Society fundraiser. Sarah and Louis Elson are both Collection Patrons of the Contemporary Art Society.
