This revealing exhibition is part of Ben Uri’s principal focus on researching, digitally documenting, disseminating and celebrating the importance of the Jewish, Refugee, and wide Immigrant contribution to British visual culture since 1900 – see buru.org.uk and diaspora-artists.net both resources within benuri.org.
The Ben Uri Research Unit (BURU) is honoured to partner with the Estate of Lancelot Ribeiro to present Lancelot Ribeiro: Heads – In and Out of Our Time, borrowing its title from the artist’s own long-planned but unrealised concept for an exhibition. Featuring 20 paintings and drawings, it focuses on Ribeiro’s preoccupation with portraiture and imagined heads from two of the most innovative decades of his practice, the 1960s and the 1990s.
