GRAND
CAYMAN, Cayman Islands, 14 January 2020 – Provenance Properties
Cayman Islands, Dart Real Estate’s sole real estate brokerage and
the exclusive Christie’s International Real Estate affiliate in the
Cayman Islands, is showcasing an outdoor art exhibit in Camana Bay
throughout the winter season.

Curated
by the National Gallery, the installation includes 10 iconic works
from the official “Cayman Islands National Collection” developed
by the National Gallery, featuring works that were created over the
past four decades. The collection features works by well-known and
highly respected local artists, such as Gladwyn “Miss Lassie”
Bush, that were created over the past six decades.

“Provenance
Properties has a direct connection to the art world through its
exclusive affiliation with Christie’s, the world’s leading art
auction house, and we believe it’s fitting for us to showcase this
collection because art, in its many forms, inspires our business,”
said Jackie Doak, Dart’s President Business Development.

Director
and chief curator of the National Gallery Natalie Urquhart said
the Cayman Islands’ National Collection offers an unparalleled
record of the islands’ rich artistic and cultural history.


"At
the heart of the National Gallery of the Cayman Islands is the Cayman
Islands’ National Collection, samples from which form the basis of
this exhibition," she said. “They’re a testament to the
country’s vibrant history of art. The National Gallery is delighted
to continue its creative partnership with Camana Bay and Provenance
Properties through this exhibition of iconic works.”

“The
exhibit is beautifully curated,” said Doak, who also explained that
Provenance Properties’ approach to curating its own luxury listings
portfolio has many similarities to the way a gallery curator might
assemble a collection of works. "Our luxury properties are works
of art and we value their form and function. We also share in
Christie’s high standards by representing some of the world’s
most desired properties right here in the Cayman Islands.”

Doak
encourages residents and visitors to head to Camana Bay to experience
the exhibit, which can be seen along the Paseo, as well as viewing
the original works at the National Gallery of the Cayman Islands.
“Everyone should see it and be reminded that you don’t need to
fly to London or New York to experience fine art – it can be found
in our own backyard.”
