Jenny Saville
Bringing together 17 works from private and public collections across the globe, this will be the first museum exhibition of Saville?s work ever to be held in Scotland, and only her third in the UK.

Other highlights will include a series of large-scale head paintings, such as Rosetta II (2005-6), made while the artist was based in Italy, and the premier of a major new work, Aleppo (2017-18), which is at the Scottish National Gallery alongside historic works from the collection.00Exhibition: Scottish National Gallery of Art, Edinburgh, UK (24.03.-16.09.2018).
