Like a watchlist RISING presents about 100 young artists who are still at the beginning of their career and whose extremely interesting positions are not yet seen as secure by the established art market. Young art personalities in the often difficult but crucial time between college and their first gallery experience, whose work is already raising hopes. The book is not only an inspiration for collectors, curators and gallery-owners and a stimulation for a desirable and lively discussion, but also allows an insight into the vital bohemia of the artistic new blood. The selection of the artists is accompanied by a board of trustees of well-known collectors, galleryowners and connoisseurs of the international art scene.
