“It can be difficult to garner funding for projects that are tru🌺ly innovative, involve taking risks or focus on an area that has not previously been well established. The Sotheby’s Prize can kick start exhibitions that might otherwise not get off the ground,” says Gordenker “I would like to see a great project emerge that reaches back to incorporate Old Mast💜ers or even older art.”
