They finished studying in 2006.


Since 2005 they have exhibited in different international galleries like [[Sommer Contemporary Art]], Tel Aviv, Christian Ehrentraut, Berlin, Goff+Rosenthal, Berlin/NY.
==Painting and Afterimage==
'''Artists Anonymous''' is recognised across [[Europe]] and [[United States]] for their '''original technique''' in combining fine art oil painting with colour inversion as found in the development process of [[analog photography]], a technique that was created over time through thorough experimentation and research of the artistic and flexible nature of '''negative film''', '''oil painting''', '''pigmentation''', and '''analogue photography'''.
This process was given an iconic name, known as the “painting and afterimage”, which has become a significant exhibiting element of Artists Anonymous throughout the years. Several art critics and art historians such as [[Edward Lucie-Smith]] and JJ Charlesworth have written down or spoken about the depth of the technique and its significance to the history of art.
Artists Anonymous have been interviewed by the renown Eugen Blume which can be found in their monograph, entitled ‘The Apocalyptic Warriors’ published by [[M. DuMont Schauberg]] in 2010.


== The Apocalyptic Warriors ==
In 2006, one of the big diptychs from the series ''Apocalyptic Warriors'' was bought by [[Charles Saatchi]].
From 2006 to 2009, '''The Apocalyptic Warriors'''. The Apocalyptic Warriors was the group's magnum opus; which updates for our contemporary times the themes of famine, war and death traditionally associated with the [[Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse]].
Depicting drugs, environmental damage and AIDS, the work is incarnated in paintings, photographs, sculptures and videos. <p>Each character were given a gallery, one of which was the self-run alternative space on Vyner Street, London, '''AA Galleries'''.
<p>The first character, '''Hunger''' was the only apocalyptic warrior who did not receive an exhibition and public display, as she was bought by [[Charles Saatchi]] straight out of their studio.
<p>'''Drugs''', AA Galleries, Vyner Street, London, UK
<p>'''Virus''', [[Haunch of Venison]], Zurich, Switzerland
<p>'''WAR''', Gallery Goff and Rosenthal, New York, USA
<p>The entire series was captured within '''Artists Anonymous''' monograph published by '''DuMont''' in 2010.


In 2007, instead of collaborating with art galleries, they converted an old garage space in London, Vyner Street<ref>{{cite news |last=Williams |first=Gilda |date=22 June 2007 |title=Artists Anonymous |url=https://www.thefreelibrary.com/Artists+Anonymous%3a+Artists+Anonymous.-a0165917225 |url-status= |archive-date=|work=[[Artforum International]] |access-date=24 October 2023 |via=[[TheFreeLibrary]] }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Perry |first=Grayson |date=10 January 2007 |title=In art, the drugs really don't work |url=http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/arts/article2394062.ece |newspaper=Times |location=London |access-date=14 May 2015 |url-access=subscription}}</ref> to a showroom and ran their own gallery.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.aa-galleries.com |title=Exhibitions |website=AA Gallery |access-date=18 November 2009}}</ref> During this time several of their works were sold to the [[Deutsche Bank Collection]].

Artists Anonymous are an art group based in Berlin and London.[1] They were founded in 2001 during their studies at Berlin University of the Arts (UdK) at the classes of Georg Baselitz and Stan Douglas. They finished studying in 2006.

Since 2005 they have exhibited in different international galleries like Sommer Contemporary Art, Tel Aviv, Christian Ehrentraut, Berlin, Goff+Rosenthal, Berlin/NY.

In 2006, one of the big diptychs from the series Apocalyptic Warriors was bought by Charles Saatchi.

In 2007, instead of collaborating with art galleries, they converted an old garage space in London, Vyner Street[2][3] to a showroom and ran their own gallery.[4] During this time several of their works were sold to the Deutsche Bank Collection. By the end of 2007 the opening of their second space in Berlin,[5] Heidestrasse, followed, where one big installation (the gunslinger and other true stories) took place.

Since then a number of different shows and project took place such as:

In 2009, Artists Anonymous ended their working relationship with Haunch of Venison to work with Riflemaker Gallery, London.[7]

Their work is included in various private and public Collections: Manchester City Art Gallery, UK, Deutsche Bank Collection, Saatchi Collection, UK; Advaney Collection, NL, UK; Walsall Art Museum, UK; Rubell Collection, Miami, USA, Zabludowicz Collection, UK.

In September 2012, they held their first show with Banksy at Lazarides Gallery.[8]
