Bravo is set to launch a new reality TV show titled The Apprentice Bachelor: Artist Editionwhere the winner meets a renowned art dealer and gets gallery representation.
“I’m looking for the next hot artist – and love, of course,” says the Blue Chip dealer who is slated to star on the show.
The high-profile art dealer has been confirmed as the main man in a special art medley of two of reality TV’s most popular programs: Batchelor And The apprentice.
In the new exhibition, 12 unknown young artists will compete for the love of a top art dealer, as well as a two-year deal with the premier gallery.
The dealer’s identity is being kept secret by TV executives and will be revealed next month ahead of the program’s premiere episode. However, the dealer spoke to The arts journal on condition of anonymity. He says: “I can’t wait to discover the next fashionable thing, the next art star and to find love, of course”.
The lucky winner will be able to fly with the bachelor to the main art fairs of the world – in cities such as London, Los Angeles and Basel – and join the art dealer’s list of renowned artists.
“For me, being an artist is more than a career choice, it’s a real vocation, a way of life. So I can offer both love and a career boost with my galleries on three continents,” says the veteran dealer.
Bravo insiders also exclusively said The arts journal they are working on other art-themed reality TV shows. “The art world is hot hot hot right now, it has glamor and passion,” an insider said. Other shows in the works include: The Real Housewives of Art Basel in Miami Beach, Below deck: special collector’s yacht And I’m conservative… Keep me away from needy artists.
