DegreeArt.com Artists at the RA Summer Exhibition
The begining of the Art World’s summer season was heralded by the Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibition 2008 opening last week. Six DegreeArt.com artists’ work is on display this year alongside pieces by Louise Bourgeois, Tracey Emin, Anish Kapoor and Gavin Turk. The show becomes the place to be seen each year, not only by artists but TV and Music celebrities too, is now in its 240th year. Lily Allen, Estelle, Vernon Kay, Jarvis Cocker and Simon Le Bon were all in attendance at the Private View.
The exhibition, which operates an open submission policy, allows unknown/ emerging artists to hang on the same walls as the living greats of the contemporary art scene.
Coordinated by Royal Academicians Humphrey Ocean, Tony Cragg and Gordon Benson, the theme of this year’s show is’ Man Made’.
Much hype has surrounded recently elected Academician Tracey Emin’s curatorial offering of room 8 which true to form consists mainly of pornographic works.

The $12 Million Stuffed Shark by Don Thompson
An art book that you don’t need a degree in Art History to understand and can be read by anyone who ever marveled (or scoffed) at the contemporary art market. Thompson offers his analysis of superstar artists, dealers, auction houses and the apparently closed world of the gallery. A brilliant resource to give even an art novice confidence and insight into all matters art of the last 20 years.

Kate Marshall’s Blue Stockings
review by —Ana Finel Honigman (Style.com 9th June 2008)
Though bluestocking feminists may have bristled at Kate Marshall's pinups preening in robin's egg hosiery, the 26-year-old English artist's show of paintings on the emerging artists' online gallery www.DegreeArt.com and in its bricks-and-mortar space on London's hip Vyner Street has the feisty flirtatiousness that post-Madonna women's rights crusaders approve of. Drawn in the loose and limber style of fashion illustrations and inspired by glossy editorials, Marshall's work is intended to offer a "smutty, seaside postcard humour's take on feminism, femininity, and the sexualized female image in popular culture.
