Overview

This April, Waddington Custot presents the first London retrospective of Photorealist paintings in 50 years and only the third major UK survey of the movement.

Selected from the largest and most important collection of Photorealist art in the world, these paintings represent the pinnacle of the movement by its main protagonists: John Baeder; Robert Bechtle; Charles Bell; Tom Blackwell; Robert Cottingham; Don Eddy; Richard Estes; Ralph Goings; Ron Kleemann; Richard McLean; John Salt; and Ben Schonzeit.

The scale of this collection is such that the exhibition is split into two parts, with Picture This: Photorealism 1966–1985, pt. 2 running from 24 May to 25 June 2023.
