In today's Tuesday Talk, curator Janet McLean talks about Alice Neel's Cityscape, and tells the story of how Neel painted it following a devastating event in her life in the winter of 1934.  Originally thought to be a view of Greenwich Village dating to the the 1950s, Janet explains how some detective work and research led to her being able to uncover the real location and date, and thus connect it to that event in her Neel's life.

Watch the talk in today’s Story, or in the saved highlight on our profile. If you've missed any talks in this series, you'll find them all saved in the highlights section, too.

Cityscape is on display in our summer exhibition, New Perspectives, which celebrates a decade of acquisitions to our collection. Find out more and book your ticket in the link in our bio.

Our summer exhibition, New Perspectives, is now open. It celebrates a decade of acquisitions and one of the fascinating things about it is discovering the different stories behind how the works came to be in our collection.

How this painting by Margaret Clarke - of her daughter Ann - came to us has a really lovely story behind it. Through our 2017 exhibition Margaret Clarke: An Independent Spirit, a number of works by the artist which were in private collections came to light, including this one. Hitherto unrecorded, it had belonged to the same family for years, the Donnelly family, and in 2019 it was gifted by Mr Leo Donnelly in memory of his wife Mary and mother-in-law, Kathleen, who had derived great pleasure from viewing the art on display during their regular visits to the Gallery.

Find out more about the exhibition at the link in our bio.

We're back open, but we're very aware that not all of our visitors are ready, or able, to come back in to the Gallery just yet.

With that in mind, we'll keep bringing you lots of interesting content online, including our regular Tuesday Talk, which we share here every week.

This week Gallery Guide Dolores Coughlan looks at Mainie Jellett's A Composition, and talks about what she loves about this work by the pioneering Irish artist.

Our new exhibition Living with art: Picasso to Celmins, A British Museum touring exhibition, features modern and contemporary prints and drawings from the collection of film critic and author, Alexander Walker (1930-2003). Born in Portadown, Co. Armagh, Walker lived in London from 1960 when he was appointed film critic for the Evening Standard newspaper, a position he held until his death. He assembled the majority of his art collection in the 1990s with funds from his successful biographies of film stars such as Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor.
 
Walker’s collection gave him great pleasure and his modest north-west London flat was filled with art. In order to be able to enjoy as many works as possible, he hung framed drawings and prints everywhere, even in his bathroom and kitchen!
 
Taking inspiration from Walker’s collection, we invited artist Vita Ryan to explore the idea of collecting and to share her personal joy in finding, organising and displaying her own unusual collection. Read Vita’s blog post, The Joy of Collecting, at the link in our bio, or under the Explore & Learn tab on our website.
