The Artist’s Studio

This exhibition explores the changing ways in which artists have represented their studios: as sociable or theatrical spaces, as private rooms for reflection, or as sites for bohemian or alternative lifestyles. From the garrets of struggling artists to rooms packed with wealthy patrons, the studios are shown not only as creative spaces but as rich sources of information about the nature and work of the artists. In the exhibition you will find paintings by artists such as Paul Cézanne, Paula Rego and JMW Turner, as well as drawings, books, manuscripts and photographs of artists' studios, including those of Francis Bacon, Antony Gormley and Frank Auerbach.

The exhibition is organised by Compton Verney and is curated by Giles Waterfield, independent curator and writer, and Antonia Harrison, curator Compton Verney.
