Kenny Schachter's Rove Gallery Hoxton Show is a great success

The Friends and Family show made the news today. The London Evening Standard used up all of page three to tell a story involving Tracey Emin's bronze sculpture which is one of many exhibits on show at the Rove gallery until April the 15th. http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-24039216-breakdancer-party-girl-sends-emin-art-flying.do

While Hazza was "working the room"  upstairs, Joffers was manning the ever popular 99p art shop. In this photo you can see him standing behind a happy shopper who has just snapped up 2 old 7 inch singles with brand new designer sleeves.

Various celebs were at the bash including Rolling Stone Bill Wyman:

Live music was provided by Raff Law & friends who despite being young in years were all surprisingly good

The price for the Emin sculpture is believed to be about £10,000 . The point of J&H's contribution is that everyone can be a collector even if they are down to their last £1.

There aren't many left but if you're lucky you may still be able to purchase a J&H 99p mono print which was inspired by Tracey Emin. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder - some will say Joffe and Pye's prints are better than the real thing.

Please note: Although some of the individual 99 items have now sold out all though it's still possible to buy a £99 limited edition box that features one example of each product.

They say you don’t choose your family and were they ever right, considering our parents, brothers, sisters and kids. Like the invite/catalogue image itself, family and friends bring to mind rawness, commitment, love, pain and happiness. F & F are the best of times and the worst all wrapped up into one. Above all this show will celebrate the joy and fun involved in making things created by people we really care about and appreciate. We are thrilled with the opportunity to present a platform to share it all with a wider audience. There are great stories of art world family dynasties (or mini-dynasties), like the Nahmads, Rubells, Berggruens, Mugrabis, Brants, Schnabels, and Jacobsons. They are all legendary and heroic and have vastly contributed to the history of art and this exhibit—even if they only recently found out about this show. We are so excited to present our own works and more from our mechanic and facebook friends come-to-life, to Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin. Everyone in our family seems to think this project was her or his idea, from 9 to 50 year old, but we all agree it should be an epic undertaking.

There will be an illustrated catalogue with essays by Helly Nahmad and others.

Artists: Stuart Gurr, Rachel Harrison, Ricci Albenda, Rob Pruitt, Brian Clarke, Zaha Hadid, Tracey Emin, Damien Hirst, Keith Tyson, Barry Reigate, Robert Chambers, Maria Pergay, Arik Levy, Tom Dixon, Vito Acconci, Franz West, George Condo, Josh Smith, Joe Bradley, Paul Thek, Sigmar Polke, William Pope. l, Marc Newson, Richard Artschwager, Peter Hujar, Misaki Kawai, Brendan Cass, Richard Woods, Donald Baechler, Keith Coventry, Lars Wheelan, Hester Finch, Cain Caser, Jasper Joffe & Harry Pye, John Isaacs, Keith Coventry, Marianne Vitale, Simon English, Mary Heilmann, and Adrian, Kai, Gabriel, Sage and Kenny Schachter, Ilona Rich and more.
