Selfridges has joined forces with Ikon Gallery to bring thought-provoking art to the department store. The launch of State of the Arts features a stunning, specially commissioned piece by Perry Roberts, a Belgian-based British artist, as well as an art trail of works by other critically acclaimed artists.

Level 4 features a limited edition ‘A Real Birmingham Family’ sculpture by Turner Prize winning artist Gillian Wearing – one of the only places in the city where it can be seen. The original £150,000 statue, commissioned by Ikon, features Birmingham sisters Roma and Emma Jones and their children. It was installed in Centenary Square in 2014 but was removed three years later for £10m transformation works to take place. Cast in bronze, the limited edition of 20 sculptures are priced at £7,200 each.

Alongside is ‘Still Life Jug’ by Richard Wilson – a handmade ceramic jug, depicted in motion, echoing unknown time through a shift in position. A limited edition of 50 has been produced, priced £3,000.

Level 4 will also feature ‘Carmen Miranda’ (pictured) – an outstanding art-reflecting-fashion piece by Joana Vasconcelos, which depicts a giant shoe made out of stainless steel pans. This eye-catching sculpture, is located in Shoe Galleries.

The final installation is the disco-ball inspired shoe, which is located by Gucci and the recently launched luxury personal shopping suite. The supersized mirrored shoe is encased in a large wooden transport box and showcases the art in an unexpected place.

The installations will be complemented by a series of drop-in art workshops for children and activities.
