The National Gallery Of Art: "Richard Hamilton: The Late Works"
Up until his death aged 89 in September 2011, Richard Hamilton was planning a major exhibition of recent works conceived specifically for the National Gallery. This highly personal exhibition is a masterful final statement of intent by one of the most influential British artists of the 20th century, and includes 30 paintings in a labyrinth-like space also designed by the artist. Some of the works have never been seen by the public. The exhibition as a whole encapsulates many of the influential directions Hamilton’s art had taken over recent decades, when his international reputation soared.
