Salvador Dalí: The Impossible Collection
In the popular imagination, possibly no other artist’s work is more recognizable than that of Salvador Dalí. Indeed, for many he is the ultimate mad artist, whose singular vision remorselessly probed his own psychological depths. His nightmarish visions and bizarre landscapes express the angst and turbulence of the twentieth century. Dalí’s creativity embraced many different modes of expression and was never constrained by any one style. Over eight decades, the prodigious range of Dalí’s activity spanned every conceivable medium, from painting and drawing to sculpture, film, furniture, books, stage design and jewelry, not to mention his highly eccentric public persona, which could be considered an art form in itself.
John Virtue
In 1978 John Virtue had been living in Green Hawarth, a remote Lancashire village, for seven years. During that time he had struggled to find a way forward as an artist and had become discouraged by a growing sense of failure. Finally, he decided to destroy all his previous work created.That destruction was to prove a liberation. On 10 April this same year, he resolved: 'Now is the time to become a real artist.' It was a memorable turning point. He decided that the surrounding landscape would form his subject and that in his response to it there would be no doubt, no equivocation.Eliminating brushes, colour, paint and canvas - all of which seemed extraneous to the direct means of expression ...

Cindy Sherman
This book, which accompanies a major exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery, considers Cindy Sherman's oeuvre through the lens of portraiture. Featuring key examples of her work - from her earliest photographs through to her most recent - it explores the mercurial relationship between appearance and reality Cindy Sherman is among the most influential artists of her generation. Using herself as model, wearing a range of costumes and portraying herself in invented situations, she interrogates the imagery employed by the mass media, po pular culture and fine art. Television, advertising, magazines, fashion and Old Master paintings all form part of her visual language. Whether using make-up...

John Virtue
Marlborough Fine Art is delighted to be holding its first exhibition of work by internationally renowned artist John Virtue. It is his first exhibition in London since his highly acclaimed show at the National Gallery in 2005. In 2006 Marlborough invited John Virtue to participate in an annual Artists International Print Project, run by Paupers Press, at the Scuola de Grafica in Venice. The scheme, now in its sixth year, provides artists with the opportunity to spend three weeks in Venice making prints. However, the medium is strictly confined to monotypes, a very direct medium which John Virtue had not tried before and which he viewed with some trepidation. Using drawings for reference he found he could work in a way that closely related to his painting techniques. In essence, the monotypes are a continuation of his work as a painter and are effectively paintings on paper.
