"A compendium of cutting-edge art." - Miami Herald.The summer forecast for contemporary art is decidedly "cooler" than expected. Massive cutting-edge international exhibitions including The Venice Biennale, Documenta 12 in Kassel, Germany and Sculpture Projects Muenster are all scheduled for June 2007 and the art world will be abuzz. But what if you can't make it to these events and you want a piece of the action?"Ice Cream: Contemporary Art in Culture" is an up to the minute collection of the most exceptional contemporary artists of tomorrow. It presents 100 of the world's top emerging artists selected by 10 esteemed curators including Jens Hoffman, Director of the CCA Wattis Institute in San Francisco; Shamim Momin, Associate Curator at the Whitney; Philippe Vergne, Chief Curator at the Walker Art Center; and The Wrong Gallery, formally "the smallest exhibition space in New York" that is now housed within the Tate Modern.Continuing the phenomenon established by its predecessors Cream (1998) Fresh Cream (2000) and Cream 3 (2003) as in "one that rises to the top, "Ice Cream" identifies the cutting edge artists to watch in the future. The previous titles were a favorite among collectors as they accurately predicted a number of art stars including Tacita Dean, Olafur Eliasson and Thomas Hirschhorn. Stylishly designed, "Ice Cream" also upholds the series' heritage of innovative packaging by featuring a shiny iridescent cover.In "Ice Cream", each curator has selected 10 important new artists who have either emerged internationally over the past five years, or are still relatively unknown. Their definition of emerged means that an artist has had solo shows, but nothing large-scale in a major institution (apart from a couple recent exceptions), has been reviewed in the international art press, but not been the subject of a major monograph, and has been given sufficient exposure without yet becoming fully established.In the selection process, no limitations on geography or media were imposed.
