Currently on view at Offer Waterman and coinciding with the designer’s show presented yesterday in London, is On Foot, an exhibition curated by the prolific artistic director Jonathan Anderson, bringing contemporary artists into dialogue with works by Modern British artists. The exhibition, featuring David Hockney, Florian Krewer, Frank Auerbach, Lowry and more significant artists, is one of Frieze London’s highlights.
Anderson’s own fashion designs for JW Anderson and LOEWE feature alongside these important visual works. Pieces from recent seasons have been chosen for their sculptural potential.
From the streets of Mayfair where Offer Waterman’s gallery is located, to the provocatively storied alleys of Soho where the JW Anderson store has its home, the exhibition’s venues invite viewers to pause and contemplate. JW Anderson’s pigeons take over a storeroom and a garden square bench will allow visitors to take in the surprising abundance of flora and fauna the city has to offer. For the exhibition Anthea Hamilton has collaborated with JW Anderson to produce a limited-edition version of the iconic pigeon clutch which will be presented at Offer Waterman and the JW Anderson Soho store.
