LONDON, ENGLAND.- The ten artists selected by Guardian readers to appear in the first reader-curated art show were announced today. They are Elena Bajo, Joshua Hagler, Lotta de Beus, Paul Taylor, Sarah Jeffries, Amy Stein, Robin Cracknell, Anthea Bush, Peter Root and Claire Morgan.

Melissa Denes, Arts Editor of the Guardian, said: “Our readers top ten were chosen from more than 10,000 contemporary artists across the globe. Some of them are based in the UK some are overseas. Some of them paint, some take photographs, some make installations, but two things unite them: they all show their work on the Your Gallery website www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk and they’re all a hit with Guardian readers.”

The winners' work will feature in an exhibition at the Guardian Newsroom and Archive in London from Tuesday 24-Saturday 28 October. The Guardian joined forces with Charles Saatchi's Your Gallery website, which features more than 15,000 international artists, to showcase the growing number of artists exhibiting on the web.

An expert panel comprising artists Cornelia Parker and Marc Quinn, Guardian art critic Jonathan Jones, gallery director Mollie Dent-Brocklehurst, and broadcaster Tim Marlow, created a longlist of 30 and Guardian readers voted for the final ten.

Rebecca Wilson from Your Gallery said: ‘By collaborating with the Guardian on this exhibition the Saatchi Gallery hopes to enhance the profile of the thousands of artists on Your Gallery, and to draw attention to the site as being a rich source of exceptional new artistic talent from around the world.’
