Michael Landy : 20 years of Pressing Hard

6 Jun-27 Jul 2013

Overview

It has been nearly twenty years since Michael Landy covered all the walls, top to bottom, of City Racing Gallery with small signs, symbols and figures, highly-stylised and personalised, boldly drawn in marker pen. The twenty-year anniversary of 'Run For Your Life', 1993, is an exciting pretext to stage a retrospective of works on paper by one of the truly original - and resolute - artists of his time. Landy is also about to be celebrated at The National Gallery, London, with an exhibition, 'Saints Alive', the conclusion of his two-year residency.
