Description

Jenny Saville: The Anatomy of Painting brings together works from across the artist’s career, ranging from pencil drawings to monumental paintings in oil.

The British artist Jenny Saville is one of today’s leading painters, for whom painting the human body gives the artist ‘the possibility to work in both an abstract and figurative way’. Jenny Saville: The Anatomy of Painting accompanies Saville’s first major museum exhibition, showcasing over 50 works from throughout her career in a broadly chronological framework. Essays consider the development of Saville’s practice, marking key moments and the strong connection she makes to art history, while a conversation with the artist gives us a glimpse into her life in the studio, her working methods and influences.
