The Artist’s Studio
This exhibition traces the development of the artist’s workspace in
Britain from the 1700s to the present day.
Through paintings, drawings, architectural plans, artist
materials, photography and film, the exhibition will consider how
studios have been used and the roles that they have played. Artists
such as Francis Bacon, Vanessa Bell, Degas, Lucian Freud, Gwen
John, Rembrandt and Warhol will be represented.
