Conversation with Aurore Ogden
Director of Art at the Arts Club, Dover Street
What advice would you give to women starting in the art world?
To those trying to break into the art world I would simply say be informed, read as much as you can - The Art Newspaper, the FT on Saturday, The Wall Street Journal, Art Review, Frieze Magazine, anything you can get your hands on. I learn so much on a daily basis thanks to those publications. That being said, do go see things for yourself, form your own opinions. Don’t be afraid to voice them just because they don’t align with those of others, including the journalists!
Is there a quote that you have found particulalry inspiring, as your career progressed in the art world?
“Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.”
Pablo Picasso
