From charcoal drawings to large-scale oil paintings of the human form, this broadly chronological display will include works that question the conventional and historical notions of female beauty.
But she is distinct from many artists that were part of that scene: at the heart of her work is a commitment to painting human bodies but with the expressive vigour of abstraction.
I'd probably choose Las Meninas [by Velázquez] because there's so much in it about painting...it would last all my life to work it out.
Opening on 20 June 2025, Jenny Saville: The Anatomy of Painting, will comprise 50 works made throughout the artist's career, and will trace the development of her practice from the 1990s to today.
