British Pop Art: The Early Years Christie’s Mayfair, 103 New Bond Street 9 October – 24 November, 2013 "Pop Art is: popular (designed for a mass audience), transient (short-term solution), expendable (easily- forgotten), low-cost, mass-produced, young (aimed at youth), witty, sexy, gimmicky, glamorous, Big Business" – Richard Hamilton London - In October 2013 Christie’s, in association with Waddington Custot Galleries, will stage When Britain Went Pop!, an exhibition exploring the early revolutionary years of the British Pop Art movement, which will launch Christie's new gallery space in Mayfair. This is the first comprehensive exhibition of British Pop Art to be held in London. When Britain Went Pop! aims to show how Pop Art began in Britain and how British artists like Richard Hamilton, Peter Blake, David Hockney, Allen Jones and Patrick Caulfield irrevocably shifted the boundaries between popular culture and fine art, leaving a legacy both in Britain and abroad. British Pop Art was last explored in depth in the UK in 1991 as part of the Royal Academy’s survey exhibition of International Pop Art. This exhibition seeks to bring a fresh engagement with an influential movement long celebrated by collectors and museums alike, but many of whose artists have been overlooked in recent years.

  • New Self-Portrait by Howard Hodgkin Takes Centre Stage in National Portrait Gallery Exhibition
    News Release Wednesday 22 March 2017 NEW SELF-PORTRAIT BY HOWARD HODGKIN TAKES CENTRE STAGE IN NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY EXHIBITION Howard Hodgkin: Absent Friends, 23 March – 18 June 2017 National Portrait Gallery, London Portrait of the Artist Listening to Music by Howard Hodgkin, 2011-2016, Courtesy Gagosian © Howard Hodgkin; Portrait of the artist by Miriam Perez. Courtesy Gagosian. A recently completed self-portrait by the late Howard Hodgkin (1932-2017) will go on public display for the first time in a major new exhibition, Howard Hodgkin: Absent Friends, at the National Portrait Gallery, London. Portrait of the Artist Listening to Music was completed by Hodgkin in late 2016 with the National Portrait Gallery exhibition in mind. The large oil on wood painting, (1860mm x 2630mm) is Hodgkin’s last major painting, and evokes a deeply personal situation in which the act of remembering is memorialised in paint. While Hodgkin worked on it, recordings of two pieces of music were played continuously: ‘The Last Time I Saw Paris’ composed by Jerome Kern and published in 1940, and the zither music from the 1949 film The Third Man, composed and performed by Anton Karas. Both pieces were favourites of the artist and closely linked with earlier times in his life that the experience of listening recalled. Kern’s song is itself a meditation on looking back and reliving the past. Also exhibited for the first time are early drawings from Hodgkin’s private collection, made while he was studying at Bath Academy of Art, Corsham in the 1950s. While very few works survive from this formative period in Hodgkin’s career, the drawings of a fellow student, Blondie, his landlady Miss Spackman and Two Women at a Table, exemplify key characteristics of Hodgkin’s approach which continued throughout his career.

It is structure in textures of colour.’ His ‘monuments’, whether oil paintings, pen and wash drawings, or oil sketches on paper, have varied essentially between two kinds of structure. There is the structure built up of clearly defined, tightly bounded forms of the early geometrical-constructivist work; and there is, in contrast, the flowing, richly textured forms of his later period, so characteristic of Bomberg’s landscape painting. These distinctions seem to exist even in the palette: primary colours and heavily saturated hues in the early works, while the later paintings are more subtle, tonally conceived surfaces.

  • Patrick Caulfield 10.01.2014 – 08.03.2014
    Patrick Caulfield 10.01.2014 – 08.03.2014 Despite being one of the foremost British artists of the post-war generation, Patrick Caulfield’s work is not well known in Germany. This is the first solo exhibition of his work in this country. It is also the inaugural show of the new location and space of Between Bridges, which was located in Bethnal Green, East London from 2006 to 2011. Between Bridges is a non-profit exhibition space run by Wolfgang Tillmans. Patrick Caulfield (1936–2005) was an influential English painter and printmaker who emerged to prominence in the early 1960s alongside David Hockney, R.B. Kitaj and Allan Jones. His work was included in the 1964 New Generation exhibition at the Whitechapel Gallery in London, as a consequence of which Caulfield’s work is often associated with Pop Art—a label that the artist himself rejected. Caulfield saw himself very much in the tradition of European painting. Caulfield’s work draws its haunting and touching quality from the changes in everyday life in post-war Britain. He looks both with wonder and with humour at objects which form a modern domestic reality that is in part traditional and in part newly emerging. A stereo loudspeaker and a picnic basket with French wine are presented as exotic and everyday at the same time. His unpopulated imagery always speaks poignantly of how situations and moments might feel. His is a visual proposition which lacks the distraction of an ‘expressive’ gesture, whilst not using pre-fabricated shapes from the commercial world as used in Pop Art.

  • Contemporary Art from the Richard Brown Baker Collection September 23, 2011-January 8, 2012
    Made in the UK: Contemporary Art from the Richard Brown Baker Collection September 23, 2011-January 8, 2012 Made in the UK offers an exceptional look at developments in British art--from the abstract painting of the 1950s to the hyperrealist images of the 1970s to the varied approaches of contemporary work. Throughout this period British art has been integral to international developments in contemporary art, but many of the artists included in this exhibition are less well known in America today than they once were. The RISD Museum's extraordinary collection of postwar British art-- uniquely strong in the United States--was made possible by the foresight and generosity of renowned collector Richard Brown Baker (American, 1912--2002). The show celebrates his extraordinary gift of British art as well as the works purchased with the substantial bequest he provided to continue building the collection. Baker, a Providence native, moved to New York in 1952, living just blocks from the 57th Street art galleries. As the city evolved into the new center of the art world, Baker was compelled to collect. Although he did not have large funds at his disposal, he became one of the most prescient collectors of American and European contemporary art in the late 20th century, acquiring more than 1,600 works, many before the artists had established their reputations. Baker never intended to build a collection of British art; his British holdings developed naturally in the context of his international outlook.

B. Kitaj’s Paintings In Terms of Walter Benjamin’s Allegory Theory by Bo-Kyung Choi Master of Arts in Art History and Criticism Stony Brook University 2009 This thesis investigates R.B.
