Jenny Saville: The Anatomy of Painting

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.
