Anomie Collections 1 is a publication accompanying the first edition of Anomie Collections - a London-based initiative that supports the work of contemporary British painters by acquiring works on behalf of a group of private collectors.

This first edition of the scheme resulted in the purchase of fifty-six paintings and works on paper, documented and presented here along with newly commissioned texts by Anneka French and an introduction by Matt Price, Publisher at Anomie Publishing and curator of the edition. The works span a variety of genres, from landscapes and urban scenes to still lifes, portraits and abstractions.

The artists featured in Anomie Collections 1 are: Jasmir Creed, Marguerite Horner, Cathy Lomax, Kathryn Maple, Kate Mary, Daniel Shadbolt, Caroline Thomson and Jim Threapleton.
