We meet author/art critic Jennifer Higgie and Sotheby's Chloe Stead to discuss an inspiring new exhibition which has just opened ‘London: An Artistic Crossroads' runs until 5th July at Sotheby's New Bond Street.Sotheby's, in partnership with Art UK and twelve museums across the country, are staging a month-long exhibition, open to the public and free of charge, shining a spotlight on the UK as a centre of creative cross-pollination.The exhibition, ‘London: An Artistic Crossroads', brings together an assemblage of remarkable works by artists who passed through or settled in the UK during their lifetime. The earliest of the works is a vivacious portrait by Flemish artist Marcus Gheeraerts the Younger, who became one of the most sought-after portraitists in England during the 16th century. It is joined by a vibrant landscape by André Derain, for whom London was a place of explosive transformation, as well as an iconicComposition by Piet Mondrian who, out of fear of German invasion and encouraged by Ben Nicholson, left Paris for Hampstead in 1938. Lucian Freud, Francis Bacon and Dame Lucie Rie are included in the line up, all émigrés, Freud from metropolitan Germany, Bacon from rural Ireland and Rie from Vienna, in addition to Frank Bowling, R.B. Kitaj and Dame Magdalene Odundo, among others.The exhibition coincides with NG200 - the Bicentenary celebrations of London's National Gallery - which it is intended to complement. As the National Gallery launches its National Treasures programme, where 12 of the nation's most iconic and well-loved paintings from the collection are lent to 12 venues across the UK, this exhibition does the reverse: bringing 12 works from major regional collections together in the capital city.The National Gallery has long provided a source of inspiration for creatives, who look to its rich collection to further enhance their own practices. Many of the artists presented in Sotheby's exhibition publicly acknowledged the museum's influence over their own styles and practice, including Bacon, Freud (the subject of a landmark National Gallery exhibition – ‘New Perspectives' – in 2022/23), Kitaj (who selected paintings for ‘The Artist's Eye' exhibition at the National Gallery in 1980), Bowling and Auerbach, who was even invited to show his interpretations of some of the National Gallery's paintings in 1995.Jennifer Higgie is an Australian writer. Previously the editor of Frieze magazine, and the presenter of Bow Down, a podcast about women in art history, she is the author of a 2021 book on women's self-portraits, 'The Mirror & The Palette: Rebellion, Revolution & Resistance, 500 Years of Women's Self Portraits'.

Jennifer has been a judge of the Paul Hamlyn Award, the Turner Prize and the John Moore's Painting Prize.Chloe Stead is Global Head of Private Sales, Old Masters Paintings for Sotheby's.

Kitaj es en la actualidad uno de los pintores más influyentes de las nuevas generaciones. Un artista controvertido y maldito que siempre fue a la contra y al mismo tiempo es uno de los pilares de la escuela pictórica de Londres junto a Bacon o Freud. Hoy repasaremos su biografía, también la de su pareja Sandra Fisher, otra gran artista y pintora, y ubicaremos su contexto y obra en el universo artístico actual.

Kurganie, czyli nadjeżdżający ze Wschodnich Stepów nomadzi. Walczyli z Imperium, wspierali barbarzyńców z Norski i wciąż na swoich wierzchowcach sieją strach od Imperium po Kitaj. ------------------------------------------------------------

Kedysi mocné impérium, dnes symbol gýču, fejkovania a lacných šmejdov zaplavujúcich trhy a tržnice. Kto by si bol pomyslel, že po vynájdení kompasu, strelného prachu a veľkom murárskom projekte klesne až takto hlboko? W&P o bizarnostiach ázijského tigra.
With John Wilson Damien Hirst talks about humour in art, on the day that a limited edition of 50 signed prints of his diamond encrusted skull go on sale for Red Nose Day. Entitled, For The Love Of Comic Relief, the prints show the skull wearing a glittery red nose, and each is priced at £2500. All proceeds go to Comic Relief. To The Wonder, a new film directed by Terrence Malick and starring Ben Affleck, explores themes of love and separation. Critic Briony Hanson reviews the latest art house film from the director who made his name with Badlands and Days Of Heaven. American-born painter R.B. Kitaj was one of The School Of London: a group of artists, which included Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud, who pioneered a new, figurative art. In 1994 a Tate exhibition of his work provoked a torrent of negative reviews, which Kitaj termed The Tate War. This, coupled with the sudden death of his wife, prompted him to leave London for Los Angeles a couple of years later. He died in 2007. Now, in the first major exhibition since then, two galleries are jointly displaying a retrospective of his paintings. Art critic Richard Cork joins John to consider Kitaj's work, and assess the rights and wrongs of The Tate War. Director Marc Isaacs takes John down the stretch of the A5 which inspired his documentary The Road: A Story Of Life And Death. It tells the stories of immigrants who seek a better life in London - facing struggles, loneliness and sometimes tragedy. Starting at London's Marble Arch, Isaacs discusses the areas and characters he met, and how he made the film. Producer Rebecca Nicholson.
Art Historian Leon Wainwright is talking around the idea of the 'authentic outsider' and how Kitaj and Hockney - in their different ways - communicated Britishness and notions of otherness in the age of Pop.
