This richly illustrated catalog traces the artistic evolution of Jenny Saville, one of the most compelling painters of her generation and a leading figure of contemporary figurative art. It brings together key works spanning the 1990s to the 2020s, including large-scale paintings and drawings created for her groundbreaking Florentine exhibition and subsequent retrospectives.
The volume highlights Saville’s distinctive approach to the human body, both intimate and monumental, exploring themes of identity, memory, and transformation.
Essays by curator Sergio Risaliti and other contributors provide critical insight into Saville’s practice, her engagement with art history, and her powerful reinvention of figuration for the 21st century. With its combination of scholarly commentary and striking reproductions, this publication stands as both an exhibition record and a lasting reflection on the artist’s search for truth through paint.
