Victoria Miro is delighted to present At Home: Alice Neel in the Queer World, curated by Hilton Als. The gallery’s ninth solo exhibition of works by the celebrated American painter further extends an ongoing exploration of aspects of Neel’s work and its continuing relevance today.
One of the foremost painters of the twentieth century, and among its most radical, Alice Neel (1900–1984) is known for her daring honesty in her pursuit of what she termed ‘the truth’ – of the individual and the broader society in which individual lives were lived. At Home: Alice Neel in the Queer World highlights the artist’s career-long commitment to depicting the human condition and her practice of painting people from many walks of life.
