British Art: Convergences

‘British Art – Convergences’ presents over 100 works by 74 artists, including Bridget Riley, David Hockney, Anthony Gormley, Francis Bacon, Rachel Whiteread, Frank Auerbach and David Bomberg.

The exhibition also presents a group of Portuguese artists – Paula Rego, Bartolomeu Cid dos Santos, Menez, Eduardo Batarda, Fernando Calhau, Graça Pereira Coutinho, João Penalva and Rui Sanches – who, at different times, sought training and, in some cases, took up residence in London.

In partnership with Tinta-da-china editions, a book of essays will be published in which, among various texts on the themes running through the exhibition, the eight Portuguese artists are presented as ‘case studies.’
