Cannibal Artist

Jenny Saville is one of my favorite artists. I have had the pleasure of hearing her speak while in graduate school. I met her years later in NYC and she recalled the question I asked her during the Q&A. She said my question changed how she openly discussed her work.

One of the UK’s most prominent painters, Jenny Saville, will be the subject of a blockbuster show at the National Portrait Gallery (NPG) in London next year.

Opening on 20 June 2025, Jenny Saville: The Anatomy of Painting, will comprise 50 works made throughout the artist’s career, and will trace the development of her practice from the 1990s to today.

A key show dedicated to Edvard Munch’s portraits also opens next year at the NPG, featuring paintings of the 19th-century Norwegian artist’s friends, lovers, writers, artists, patrons and collectors, together with a range of self-portraits. “[This] will be the first exhibition in the UK to focus exclusively on this important but sometimes overlooked aspect of the artist’s oeuvre,” says an NPG statement.

Edvard Munch Portraits will open on 13 March 2025, with the “headline supporter” AKO Foundation, a charitable trust established in 2013 by the Norwegian businessman Nicolai Tangen who opened a new museum in Kristiansand, southern Norway, earlier this year.

“AI images and photography should not compete with each other in an award like this,” he wrote in a statement on April 13. “They are different entities. AI is not photography. Therefore I will not accept the award.”

He continued, “We, the photo world, need an open discussion. A discussion about what we want to consider photography and what not. Is the umbrella of photography large enough to invite AI images to enter – or would this be a mistake?”
