LONDON.- International art advisor duo Alexandra Ray and Catherine Loewe announced the launch of a new quarterly online exhibition series
The Eye of the Huntress on Tuesday 20 October with their inaugural group exhibition titled Le Petit Trianon. The first exhibition includes works by Agostino Bonalumi, Conrad Shawcross, Davina Semo, Enrico Castellani, Hans Op De Beeck, Jim Lambie, Kate McGwire, Katy Grannan, Lothar Gotz, Richard Patterson, Davina Semo, Wolfe Von Lenkiewicz and Zak Ové.
Combining Ray and Loewes impressive art market insight with their visionary expertise in interior design and collecting, The Eye of The Huntress is a trailblazing new exhibition series dedicated to showcasing works by some of the worlds most exciting contemporary artists in spectacular architectural spaces recreated by using the most advanced CGI technologies developed by a US based all female team of tech visionaries at INVI.
Collaborating with some of the most prestigious galleries around the world and amalgamating their art world connoisseurship with the latest digital technology, The Eye of The Huntress is the exhibition model of the future, transforming the way we invest and interact with art with a push of a button. With the current restrictions in place and COVID preventing access to international art fairs, museums and galleries, The Eye of The Huntress offers a carefully curated selection of works that one can visualise at home alongside a personalised nail to nail service that delivers the artworks straight to your home from a gallery or a studio.
Ray and Loewes new venture offers a bold new way to invest, collect and view art through their transportive curatorial approach. The Eye of The Huntress allows the viewers and the collectors to not only visualise the pieces at home but also immerse themselves in the historical milieus carefully selected by Ray and Loewe themselves. A brainchild of two art world pundits and huntresses of beauty, the new exhibition platform finds its inspiration from the Ancient mythology of Diana the Huntress. Having worked in the art world for over three decades, Ray and Loewes untiring pursuit to discover exquisite art and timeless elegance forms the foundation of the new online exhibition series. The Eye of The Huntress is here to disrupt the cacophony of the oversaturated art market by presenting the most distinctive and desirable pieces of contemporary art as bite sized capsule collections of expertly curated artworks.
Enriched with history and elegance, the inaugural exhibition Le Petit Trianon is set in a chateau in San Francisco built in 1904 as an exact replica of a manor house Louis XV gifted to his long-term mistress Madame De Pompadour in 1768. The quirky history of the space and its lavish exterior, interior and garden digitally rendered by INVI offer a magical backdrop for showcasing the impressive inauguration of The Eye of The Hunteress.
