The Laurin Gallery is based in Switzerland and when Manuela is asked to compare the markets between her native country and the UK, she claims she is still figuring it out.

‘Maybe the possibilities are different here because there are many big institutions and a lot of money and a very big market in London, definitely.’

‘There have already been a number of purchases, all people that wouldn’t necessarily be walking through China town.’

As he talks, Patton stands in front of one of the ’shoot’ entitled works by artist Jen Schwarting and he explains that she ’sees them as a flimsy safety device for a paralysis situation’. Now that’s arty.

‘We don’t represent artists as a gallery, we work every time with different artists as an art centre.’ Adrien makes it very clear that they don’t go by the rule book.

With a core team of four, it allows them to bring a greater diversity to the gallery and bounce ideas off one another. One example is this piece ‘Puddle Painting’, which was made horizontally and encompasses layers upon layers of paint, varnish and glitter, with a splattering of golf ball.

‘We get a very good response here,’ explains Freymond-Guth, as he stands in front of a large installation by Discoteca Flaming Star, who have previously been exhibited at the Tate Modern.

The artists he represents are certainly quirky and this year his stall show-cased pieces he describes as ‘relics of memories and nostalgia’.
