The moment when words become form best explains the concept behind Words are Deeds, an exciting one-off exhibition curated by Francesco Bonami at Phillips' London headquarters. Language has long been understood as a central part of artistic expression. With Words are Deeds, Bonami imagines an exhibition as a conversation, or visual soundtrack, with meaning constructed through each individual work. Every piece expresses individuality and identity: just like words, they can connect to form phrases or stand alone to communicate powerful meaning. London selling Exhibition at Phillips Auction 11 July – 25 August.
