About Nick Crowe

In 2001, YSP commissioned a new exhibition, presenting a rare opportunity to see the work of talented contemporary artist Nick Crowe.

In the Bothy Gallery, 12 flip charts displayed Crowe’s drawings. Each chart combined a graph representing one month’s financial trading on the Nasdaq financial index, with a landscape. The Nasdaq is concerned with technology stocks and trades taking place via a computer and telecommunications network.

This pairing of landscape with the world of commerce creates a timely and thought-provoking reflection on our contemporary world.
