In 2020, as part of the post-lockdown re-opening celebrations for Scotland's Fife Arms, Hauser & Wirth's owners unveiled a specially commissioned temporary neon installation, "Work No. 3435: Everything is Going to be Alright" by one of their favorite artists, Turner Prize-winner Martin Creed. This colorful installation was situated on the grounds of nearby Braemar Castle.
The message resonates well beyond the pandemic and this gorgeous print is held in a bespoke box. It makes a terrific gift. Note that the edition number you purchase may be different than the one shown in the image.
(Martin Creed, who grew up in Glasgow, is particularly known in Scotland for the much-loved Scotsman Steps in Edinburgh, a public staircase joining two streets made with more than a hundred different types of marble. A work in blue neon, "Work No. 975: Everything is Going to be Alright", has been on view since 2012 on the facade of the National Gallery of Scotland in Edinburgh. The phrase ‘Everything is going to be alright’ has been used by the artist in a series of large-scale neon works since 1999 and draws on the comforting words Creed was offered by a friend. He explains, “If you are upset and someone speaks to you to try to help you, even if the words are empty because no one knows what is going to happen in the future, it can still feel like a comfort. No-one can really tell you everything is going to be alright, but despite that, many times in my life I have been very comforted by people saying something like that to me.”)
And all this brings us back to the present work, a limited edition 2022 color giclee print, pencil signed and numbered by Martin Creed, which depicts Creed's pandemic-era temporary light installation with the neon words Everything is Going to Be Alright, against the backdrop of Braemar Castle at nightfall. This edition was originally sold by Hauser & Wirth via the Fife Arms to raise funds to restore Braemar Castle - and it quickly sold out. It's a poignant message that continues to resonate, perhaps now more than ever - and it would look beautiful in any home or office. It is unframed, and held in a bespoke archival box, so it also makes an exquisite gift.
But the question remains: Should we really believe Martin Creed's message? The answer is a resounding Yes. Coming from some of the most successful and lucky people on earth (Martin Creed and Manuela and Iwan Wirth) and carrying the magical energy and history of Braemar Castle, the odds are looking pretty good that everything is indeed going to be alright.

Presentation
Martin Creed is a British contemporary artist recognized for his minimalist and conceptual approach to art. Born October 21, 1968 in Wakefield, he distinguished himself in the art world through his innovative use of everyday materials and his provocative installations. His work, which includes everything from painting, sculpture, installation, music to performance, often challenges audiences about the nature of art and existence.
Regarding his education, Martin Creed studied at the Slade School of Fine Art in London, where he developed his unique style under the influence of movements such as minimalism and conceptual art. Although he does not specifically cite artists influential in his training, echoes of figures such as Marcel Duchamp and Sol LeWitt can be discerned in his reductive approach and questioning of art as a concept.
Martin Creed's artistic style is marked by an economy of means and a penchant for order and simplicity, characteristic traits of minimalism. He frequently uses everyday objects, transforming ordinary items into works of art, which challenges viewers to re-evaluate their perception of the objects and spaces around them. His works are often ephemeral and immersive, creating a unique experience for each viewer.
Throughout his career, Martin Creed has exhibited in numerous prestigious galleries and institutions around the world. Notable exhibitions include his participation at the Tate Gallery in London and his solo exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago. In 2001, he was honored with the prestigious Turner Prize for his work ""Work No. 227: The lights going on and off"", which consisted of a piece where lights went on and off at regular intervals, highlighting his interest in rhythm and temporality.
In conclusion, Martin Creed's impact on the world of contemporary art is undeniable. With his minimalist and conceptual style, he continues to push the boundaries of art, inviting viewers to question and reflect on the essence of art and its role in modern society. His original and often provocative approach makes him a major figure in contemporary artistic dialogue, marking his time and influencing a new generation of artists.
