This will include paintings by Post-War & historical Masters, as well as Contemporary works, depicting scenes of Bathers. The exhibition will be accompanied by an extensive publication, with essays contributed by Martin Gayford & Hannah Rothschild, Bathers will be one of London’s major summer highlights for visiting members of the public and the British art scene and will be accompanied by a series of events and educational activities for the local community and schools.

We will be including works by Damien Hirst, David Hockney, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, Henry Taylor, Pablo Picasso, Peter Doig, Auguste Rodin, Alex Katz, Eric Fischl, amongst many others.
