Where it came from
Published in 1999 by the Gagosian Gallery to accompany the artist's exhibition, this monograph serves as a definitive survey of Jenny Saville's early body of work. It captures her exploration of the human figure, specifically her fascination with the physicality, weight, and vulnerabilities of the flesh. The volume was produced during a period when Saville was gaining significant international attention for her large-scale, painterly depictions that challenged traditional classical aesthetics.
The book design prioritizes large-format reproductions of her paintings, allowing for a close examination of her heavy, impasto brushwork and layered color palettes. By showcasing her work through the lens of Gagosian, the publication helped solidify her position within contemporary figurative painting. It remains a essential reference for those studying her technique and the visceral, often confronting, nature of her artistic subjects.
