About
Contemporary Now
The Michelin Guide for contemporary art — trusted, selective, minimal, editorial, and image-led.
What Contemporary Now Is
Contemporary Now is a selected guide to contemporary art, artists, galleries, artworks, collecting, and market-building. We operate as a trusted, editorial platform — curating a selective view of the contemporary art landscape.
How It Works
Each edition brings together a focused selection of galleries and artists, presented through a programme of viewings, talks, dinners, and cultural events. We work with galleries to introduce their artists to a curated audience of serious collectors.
Galleries
Participating galleries are selected for the quality of their programme and the depth of their artist relationships. We do not represent galleries commercially — we create the conditions for meaningful collector introductions.
Artists
Artists presented through Contemporary Now are selected on the basis of their practice, critical standing, and the gallery relationships that support them. We present artists through their work and their context.
Collectors
Contemporary Now is built for collectors who want to engage with art seriously. We provide access to works, artists, galleries, and advisors — not through a marketplace, but through considered editorial and relationship-building.
Editions
Each Contemporary Now edition is a curated event — a moment in a specific city, with a specific group of galleries and artists, presented over a defined period. Editions generate a permanent archive that documents the contemporary art landscape.
The Long View
Contemporary Now is not a transaction platform. We believe in quality over quantity, depth over breadth, and trust over transaction. Our role is to support the long-term market for serious contemporary art.
