Christmas is just around the corner and, while we’re busy rushing around buying last minute gifts, we thought it would be a good idea to speak to our favourite art girls about what they want to find under their tree…
Natasha Arselan, CEO Auc Art @natashaarselan
“I’d love a break from emails for longer than 48 hours and I’d love not to worry about anything.”

“All I want for Xmas is a suit and Sign Language classes”
Selena Cerami, Founder Eve Leibe Gallery @_selena_cerami
“On my wishlist is an Emily Mae Smith painting, a surrealist painter currently living and working in Brooklyn, New York. And a trip to a warmer place, Bali and Lombok!”
Alena Kurmasheva, Founder Osnova Gallery, Moscow @osnovagallery
“A new hot spot I explored during Loop fair in Barcelona is darial concept store. If i didn’t have art for Christmas, it would be clothes by emerging British and Georgian designers for snatched outfits and rare books. To name a few: ANN DEMEULEMEESTER, BAUDOIN & LANGE, TATA NAKA, TL-180.”
Aindrea Emelife, Founder Aindrea Contemporary @aindrealondon
“A palazzo in Florence so I can eat pasta al pomodoro for lunch every day and fill the town with all the talented young artists i have met in the past year.”
Hazel Mead, Artist @hazel.mead

“It’s so boring but will be much appreciated – I’ve asked for a new duvet, a really comfy one. I also want to have some good quality time with my family.”
Rebecca Anne Proctor, Arts Journalist @rebeccaanneproctor
“If I could have anything I wanted for Christmas my wish list would include latest works by Mickalene Thomas, Simphwe Ndzube, Viktor Omar and Dana Awartani. I’m also desperate to get my hands on Michael Shnayerson‘s ”Boom: Mad Money, Mega Dealers, and the Rise of Contemporary Art””
Tatiana Stern, Lazy Mike Gallery
“For Christmas, apart from any material goods (I’ve mentioned to my husband that I might be happy to get a recent Manuel Solano painting), I would like see the equality and balance between genders in arts”
