London Painters

Held in New York and London, London Painters brings together works by a small group of artists who have commonly been identified as the main proponents of the so-called “School of London”: Michael Andrews, Frank Auerbach, Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud, David Hockney, R.B. Kitaj and Leon Kossoff. Through a selection of self-portraits, depictions of their loyal sitters and London scenes, the exhibition explores the artists’ dedication to the figure and cityscape, at a time when abstraction prevailed. This catalogue includes an essay by William Paton.
