ART FIRST is pleased to present a winter exhibition, Figure, featuring new work from Christopher Cook, Machiko Edmondson, Jack Milroy and David Price with related work by Guler Ates and Bridget Macdonald, alongside important historical pieces by Eileen Cooper and Partou Zia.
"The Figure Is Back, Baby! At MoMA PS1's Greater New York, Artists Vanquish Zombie Formalism With People Art" - so reads the headline of a recent www.artspace.com notice (11 October), which nicely bolsters Art First's understanding that art incorporating the figure has never 'gone away'.
