SLG Forever

Christie’s Private Sales is proud to present SLG Forever, an exhibition to raise vital funds for the South London Gallery (SLG), one of London’s leading contemporary art galleries. The SLG has championed the role of art and artists in society since it was established as a charity in 1891. As it enters its 135th anniversary year, this exhibition is the first of a series of fundraising initiatives organised by the SLG to unfold over the course of 2026.

More than 25 leading British and international artists, who have strong connections to the SLG and its Director, Margot Heller, in her 25th year in the role, have generously donated works. Many of these artists have had solo exhibitions at the SLG, including Firelei Báez, Nairy Baghramian, Alvaro Barrington, Leonardo Drew, Tracey Emin, Ryan Gander, Katharina Grosse, Christina Kimeze, Michael Landy, Pope.L, Magali Reus and Keith Tyson, while others have featured in group exhibitions.

Some have, or have had, studios near the SLG, including Sir Frank Bowling, Edmund de Waal, Antony Gormley, Allison Katz, Francesca Mollett and Raqib Shaw. Other exhibiting artists include Oliver Bak, Chila Burman, Peter Davies, Gabriel Orozco, Pedro Reyes, Ana Segovia, Silät (Wichí Community, Argentina), Yinka Shonibare and Joseph Yaeger.

Proceeds from sales will raise much-needed funds to upgrade the historic main gallery building, commission new works by some of today’s most exciting artists, and engage thousands more local children and young people each year through the SLG’s acclaimed Communities & Learning programmes.

On view at Christie’s in London from 5 to 24 June, the exhibition is also available online until 30 September.
