Bob & Roberta Smith, in reflecting upon the design for ART IS LIKE LOVE, has shared:
“Art is like love’ because art, like love, happens between us. Anyone can fall in love and anyone can make art.”
The artist has proposed a Manhattan for the cocktail shaker ART IS LIKE LOVE.

40 Years of the Future: Editions
In collaboration with Ryan Gander OBE RA (Castlefield Gallery Artist Patron), to mark Castlefield Gallery’s 40 year anniversary, we are delighted to present a new collection of limited-edition artworks.
40 Years of the Future: Editions are a limited series of beautifully engraved cocktail shakers, created with a group of celebrated, award-winning artists, who at the invitation of Ryan Gander have donated their designs in support of Castlefield Gallery.
40 Years of the Future: Editions artists are:
Ryan Gander OBE RA, Joy Division and Peter Saville CBE, Bob and Roberta Smith OBE RA, Shezad Dawood, Lindsey Mendick, Simeon Barclay and Hannah Perry.
The new editions were first revealed at Soho House x Castlefield Gallery, 40 Years of the Future: Lates, an event that brought together, in conversation, artists Ryan Gander, Peter Saville, Shezad Dawood, Hannah Perry and Simeon Barclay. At the event Gander shared his love of cocktails and his reasons for proposing a series of cocktail shakers. This included thoughts on cocktails – from how the invention of and mixing of them is akin to a creative act, to how they are often used to mark a moment. We are pleased to share with you an exciting opportunity, to be some of the first to collect new art from this exclusive and extraordinary limited-edition series.
