Self

Since the first hand print was left on the side of a cave, the making of images has been intrinsically bound up with self-portraiture and its concerns of self-presentation and self-preservation. Self looks at the interpretations of self-portraiture of four of the greatest artists of the 20th century, spanning the modern and contemporary eras: Pablo Picasso, Francis Bacon, Jeff Koons and Damien Hirst. This catalogue includes an exclusive interview with Koons and Hirst.
