Courtauld Cast

To celebrate the significant achievements and public recognition of artist Claudette Johnson and the wonderful news of her nomination for the 2024 Turner Prize, we are delighted to present a special episode of The Courtauld's Podcast, #CourtauldCast. This episode captures a conversation between Claudette Johnson MBE, artist Chantal Joffe RA and Professor Dorothy Price FBA recorded during the recent five-star exhibition Claudette Johnson: Presence at The Courtauld Gallery (29 Sep 2023 – 14 Jan 2024).A founding member of the Black British Arts Movement, Claudette Johnson is considered one of the most significant figurative artists of her generation. For over 30 years she has created large-scale drawings of Black women and men that are at once intimate and powerful. The exhibition at The Courtauld Gallery presented a carefully selected group of major works from across her career, from key early drawings, such as the arresting I Came to Dance, 1982, and And I Have My Own Business in This Skin, 1982, alongside her extraordinary new body of works made over the last ten years. The exhibition was rooted in the ongoing research, teaching and activities in the field of Black and Diasporic British Art by Dorothy Price, Professor of Modern and Contemporary Art and Critical Race Art History at The Courtauld.Happy Listening!
