An Evening with Maggi Hambling at Hatchards, Piccadilly

We are delighted to welcome artist Maggi Hambling here to Hatchards for a very special evening of conversation as she reflects on her life and art with author James Cahill in celebration of the brand new monograph from Rizzoli:

Maggi Hambling

in which leading critics, curators, and art historians trace Hambling s formative period from her time at the East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing in the early 1960s, to her rise to fame in the 80s, the centrality of drawing to her eclectic practice, and the virtuoso series of paintings that have defined her output in recent decades. Love, death, and remembrance are revealed as her enduring themes, and are reflected in her intimate portraits as much as her epic-scaled evocations of war, the climate emergency, and the natural world. Shining a light on Hambling's fearless spirit, this tour-de-force publication takes you deep into the heart and mind of one of the most influential and provocative artists of her generation.

We hope you will be able to join us for what promises to be a uniquely fascinating evening!
