Scotland Avant-Garde - New York Times T4 section, (16 May)

The New York Times travel magazine, T4, featured an article at the weekend by Peter Terzian focusing on Glasgow’s burgeoning contemporary art scene. Glasgow artists Toby Paterson and David Shrigley are among those mentioned with Paterson commenting that, “there’s something of an unfinished feeling in Glasgow that makes it really intriguing.” Glasgow School of Art is credited with educating some of Britain’s most celebrated artists – including the Turner Prize winners Douglas Gordon and Simon Starling – and the piece concludes that “a kind of modesty and a willingness to be part of a community” is the glue that makes Glasgow’s creative class cohere.
