"The International Gallery of Modern Art at Ca' Pesaro in Venice has announced that it will host a major exhibition of work by Jenny Saville next year. The solo show will be the British painter's first in the northern Italian city and will coincide with the 2026 Venice Biennale. Gagosian, the mega-gallery which represents Saville, is "supporting the show," it told ."
"Despite sustained market demand for her work, (she broke the auction record for a living female artist in 2018 when her 1992 self-portrait Proppe sold for £9.5 million at Sotheby's London), up until this year, institutional recognition was elusive. But over the last 12 months, Saville, who was born in 1970 in Cambridge, has had three major museum shows at London's National Portrait Gallery, the Albertina in Vienna, and the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth."
Jenny Saville will present a major solo exhibition of 30 paintings at the International Gallery of Modern Art, Ca' Pesaro, in Venice from March 21 to November 26, 2026, coinciding with the Venice Biennale. The show will be the painter's first in the northern Italian city and will be curated by Elisabetta Barisoni, with Gagosian supporting the exhibition. Saville has experienced sustained market demand and recent institutional recognition, including major museum shows in London, Vienna, and Fort Worth. Tad Smith, Sotheby's CEO from 2015 to 2019, pursued digital initiatives such as the Thread Genius acquisition and is now focused on digital art and blockchain assets.
