The title of a new exhibition opening 21 March at Pippy Houldsworth Gallery in London says it all. Sweethearts: Artist Couples brings together high-profile artists, designers and architects and their other halves. "The resulting work will examine the condition of working together, the quiet influence that one partner may have exerted upon the other, and the cross fertilisation of ideas and techniques that may have crept into each other's practice," reads the rather eloquent press statement. Gary Hume and Georgie Hopton, Antony Gormley and Vicken Parsons, Rem Koolhaas and Madelon Vriesendorp, and Richard Wentworth and Jane Wentworth are among the creative couples included in the show. But be warned: "Artist duos who collaborate in their day to day practice are not included," say the organisers.
