Discover the work of Jenny Saville, one of the most renowned contemporary painters working today, at her largest museum retrospective exhibition to date…
Exploring ideas around identity, beauty, gender, motherhood and technology, the exhibition brings together work from the 1990s to the present day and includes the large scale portraits and figure paintings Saville is best known for, as well as her striking charcoal drawings plus new work being exhibited for the first time.
We will visit the exhibition for approximately two hours, giving you ample time to enjoy the show and perhaps sketch in the space or in the National Portrait Gallery afterwards. After our visit, there is the option to join us for lunch at the Cafe in the Crypt (approx. 5 minute walk away) to discuss the exhibition with your fellow artists.
