Collection Studies are a series of focused case-studies of works from the David and Indrė Roberts Collection.
As part of the Collection Studies (formerly, Study Series) DRAF presents the work of Charles Avery. The exhibition centres on the collection’s The Ninth Resort, a large pencil and ink drawing made in 2010, and also includes a number of other works by Avery and materials collected by the artist as part of his studio practice, such as furniture, designed wallpaper, books, maquettes, sketches and texts. The exhibition explores ‘The Island’, the epic fiction to which Avery has devoted his practice since 2004.
A text in the Collection Studies series by curator Tom Morton accompanies the project.
