Artists’ multiples, which are works of art reproduced in a series of copies, are not lesser works. This is demonstrated by the fact that in the course of modern and contemporary history, not even the most famous of artists (including Warhol, Beuys and Roth) have disdained them. They simply belong to a different price category. And for artists and gallery owners alike, they just might be the best way to get closer to a different kind of audience – a new and curious one that knows contemporary art. The people behind the Milanese N.O. Gallery are so convinced of this that they have organised a series of three exhibitions based on multiples. It starts with a group of twenty artists.

Some, such as Sara Ciracì and Seamus Farrell, were invited by curators Katia Anguelova and Alessandra Poggianti to create new objects. Others will be presenting a heterogeneous display of work that is already known to the public. They range from Claude Closky and Daniel Buren’s stickers to a collection of vinyl records worked on by Thomas Hirschhorn and Liam Gillick; from Davide Bertocchi’s musical project to John Giorno’s proclamations.
