Join our members’ afternoon preview of The Griffin Catalyst Exhibition: Wayne Thiebaud. American Still Life.
The first ever UK museum show devoted to the work of Wayne Thiebaud (1920–2021), now considered to be one of the greatest and most original American artists of the 20th century.
This exhibition will present Thiebaud’s remarkable, vibrant and lushly painted still-lifes of quintessentially post-war American subjects, from diner food and deli counters to gumball dispensers and pinball machines. These are the paintings with which Thiebaud made his name in the USA in the early 1960s.
