After the stellar success of his star-studded LA show (where Brad and Angelina walked away with quite a few pics) and setting a personal record at auction back in October 2006, Banksy is offering free downloads of some of his images for those that can’t afford to buy his art. No doubt a response to the many profiteers who've turned his images into unauthorized tees and other goods (an practice antithetical to Banksy's work), the move is a very Banksy like response. As he reminds on the site, please note that the images are for personal use only and should be printed at work.

Private View 25 January 6-8pm  Aperiatur Terra  26 January - 17 March 2007

White Cube Mason's Yard is pleased to present a new body of work by the internationally acclaimed artist Anselm Kiefer. The exhibition will be staged both at White Cube Mason's Yard and the Royal Academy of Arts.

The title of the exhibition, Aperiatur terra, is a quotation from the Book of Isaiah, which translates as 'let the earth be opened' and continues 'and bud forth a saviour and let justice spring up at the same time'. These contrasting themes of destruction and re-creation, violent upheaval and spiritual renewal underpin much of Kiefer's work.

PRIVATE/CORPORATE IV
A DIALOGUE OF THE COLLECTIONS LEKHA AND ANUPAM PODDAR, NEW DELHI, AND DAIMLERCHRYSLER, STUTTGART/BERLIN

January 19 – May 20, 2007
Opening: January 18, 2007, 7 p.m.

Private/Corporate IV is the fourth in a series of exhibitions, which was initiated in 2002, and in which the DaimlerChrysler Collection presents itself in a dialogue with an international private collection once a year. The previous co-operations have always revolved around a focusing on what is characteristic for both the private collector invited and the development of the DaimlerChrysler Collection: conceptual trends and international contemporary art positions (dialogue with Paul Maenz, Berlin, 2002), Minimal and Post-minimal art (dialogue with Ileana Sonnabend, New York, 2003), German positions in the borderland of Abstraction, Figuration and Minimalism (dialogue with Heliod Spiekermann, Düsseldorf, 2005).

Anupam Poddar (*1974), the dialogue partner for Private/Corporate IV, ranks among the most significant art collectors in India. The extensive collection was initiated by his mother, Lekha Poddar. The rather small number of significant private collections in India have one thing in common, namely that they have concentrated exclusively on national art to date. In contrast to other Indian collectors, Poddars collection comprises of various genres. Pictures, objects, sculptures, installations, photography and video art are arranged with selected representatives of Indian folk art. The exhibition Private/Corporate IV comprises over 60 works by some 30 artists, most of them from India, from the collections of Anupam Poddar and DaimlerChrysler.

From the Poddar Collection: Jyothi Basu, Sheba Chhachhi, Krishanaraj Chonat, Atul Dodiya, Anita Dube, Probir Gupta, Shilpa Gupta, Subodh Gupta, N.S. Harsha, Anant Joshi, Bharti Kher, Sonia Khurana, Pushpamala N., T.S. Nagarajan, Jagannath Panda, Ravinder Reddy, T.V. Santosh, Mithu Sen, Dayanita Singh (all IND).

From the DaimlerChrysler Collection: Daniele Buetti (CH), Tobias Hauser (D), Georg Herold (D), Alfredo Jaar (RCH), Sonia Khurana (IND), Justin Ponmany (IND), David Salle (USA), Dayanita Singh (IND), K.R.H. Sonderborg (D), Tamara K.E. (GUS)
