Jenny Saville: Gaze
Published by Hatje Cantz, this book accompanies Jenny Saville: Gaze at the Albertina, Vienna—the artist’s first solo exhibition in Austria. In addition to presenting several new works, Gaze offered retrospective insight into her practice over the last two decades. Oscillating between figurative representation and painterly abstraction, Saville engages with the history of art while depicting bodies and faces that accentuate the immediacy and corporeal nature of her subjects.
The bilingual (English/German) catalogue features vibrant reproductions and details of more than twenty-five paintings and works on paper, as well as numerous photographs of Saville’s studio in Oxford, England. It includes a foreword by Albertina director Ralph Gleis, a conversation between the artist and curator Angela Stief, and an essay by Elisabeth Bronfen on Saville’s image-making techniques and the mythopoetic implications of her work.
