The Filthy Fox Auction Club represents promising art students and art-grads from London’s art colleges, selling their work directly from their studios to you. Artist-run by the two friends, Alexandra Hochgürtel and Paula Pfitzner, who wish to create more opportunities and dedust the rigid art and auction market.
