Cecily Brown: Themes and Variations is the first exhibition to fully explore the pioneering British-American artist's work through the lens of its groundbreaking reconfiguration of cultural politics.
This major mid-career retrospective brings together nearly 30 large-scale paintings and drawings from across almost 30 years of Brown’s career, including two new works on paper that will be shared with the public for the first time. The exhibition offers a closer look at Brown’s practice, examining the way her work challenges art history’s traditional values and presents women as complex and fully realized authors and subjects.
