Webb's acquires Bowerbank Ninow

Published: Mon 1 Apr 2019 02:49 PM
Webb’s has acquired Bowerbank Ninow. This is an exciting time for us, as these changes will allow us access to new resources and opportunities. With a larger business backing us, we will be able to tackle ambitious projects and grow Bowerbank Ninow in ways that were not previously possible. We view these changes as a natural extension of our desire to continue to improve our business and share our vision. As a part of these changes, we will also be moving to exciting new premises with significantly increased exhibition space.
So, what is going to change and what does this mean?
Firstly and most importantly, there will be no immediate changes. Auction N12 and Auction N13 will go ahead as planned, beginning at 6:30pm on Wednesday, April 3. Likewise, the exhibition program will continue in the current space until June, when the gallery will be moving to its new home.
Simon and Charles will still be overseeing the day-to-day operations of the business, and will remain in positions similar to those they currently hold, with Simon Bowerbank overseeing Webb’s and Bowerbank Ninow’s exhibition program as a continuation of his current role as Gallery Director, while Charles will be overseeing the Fine Art Department at Webb’s. This means that any consignments that have previously been discussed will still be sold in future auctions, and any existing contracts concerning works are still valid. Likewise, works held in the Bowerbank Ninow stockroom can still be stored or collected as per existing contracts and agreements.
We are excited about working on new exhibitions with our current artists and developing new projects and relationships. We are also looking forward to the ability a new space will give us to mount larger-scale exhibitions and projects, or to run multiple exhibitions concurrently.
