Admission Free
21 April – 25 September 2010
Art collector Frank Cohen opened Initial Access in 2007 as a space to present exhibitions from the collection of over 1,000 works he owns. Sited on the outskirts of Wolverhampton in two refurbished warehouses the programme is designed to mount shows of new acquisitions to the collection and to give the public an opportunity to see world-class art.
Among his most important works are pieces by Richard Prince, Jeff Koons, Cindy Sherman, LS Lowry, William Roberts and Edward Burra evidencing just why Cohen is recognised widely as one of the most influential collectors of international contemporary art, with a reputation for staying ahead of the trends in the contemporary art market.
The eighth exhibition at Initial Access, curated by David Thorp, will feature a selection of painting and sculpture by Dan Colen, Gerald Davis, Gardar Eide Einarsson, Dirk Skreber and Banks Violette drawn from the Frank Cohen Collection.
ATTITUDE is an exhibition of work by artists whose approach might be considered anti-social or to support positions that fly in the face of conventional morality and good taste.
