30 ARTFRIENDS


30 Artfriends is a loose association of 30 art collectors who are joined in friendship by a mutual passion for modern and contemporary Southeast Asian art. The group comprises 15 Malaysian collectors and 15 Singaporean counterparts. They came together to produce a coffee table book entitled 30 Artfriends: Appreciating Southeast Asian Artworks which was launched last year. The publication is an honest depiction of the personal inclinations of each individual collector, and all proceeds from the book sales are contributed or will be contributed to the development of art education and activities in Malaysia and Singapore.
