At Home: Alice Neel in the Queer World

Alice Neel was one of the most important chroniclers of modern life. The American artist painted the people around her, always with tenderness, always with bare honesty. This show – which follows up 2022’s excellent ‘There’s Still Another I See’ – looks at her depictions of figures from queer communities, including politicians, philanthropists, writers, performers, artists, friends and neighbours for a powerful examination of life on the margins, and what it's like to have piercings in unmentionable places.
