The Coningsby Gallery – Henry Miller

27th of February till the 11th of March

Coningsby Gallery, 30 Tottenham Street, London, W1T 4RJ

The exhibition will be open daily Monday to Saturday, 10am until 7pm. Closed Sunday 5th March.

Henry Miller brings his collection of paintings, drawings, photography and prints to the Coningsby Gallery for the first time between 27th February and 11th March 2017. The collection includes works by Keith Vaughan, Glynn Warren Philpot, John Minton, Jean Cocteau, Pavel Tchelitchew, Augustus John and Noel Coward. Unbound by any particular time period or style, the collection is curated thematically around representations of the male form. The central theme enables the collection to display older pieces alongside more contemporary works, and in doing so, creates a stunning visual representation of the male form through the ages.

The central theme enables the collection to display older pieces alongside more contemporary works, and in doing so, creates a stunning visual representation of the male form through the ages. Particular works of interest include Dancing Men (Tanzende Männer), a lithograph by Erich Heckel from 1917, and an early self-portrait by Edgar Holloway, a self-taught artist, who created a series of self-portraits throughout his life. This work is particularly sensitive and captivating, and especially extraordinary as it was created when the artist was only 18.

Henry Miller is the founder of Henry Miller Fine Art, a gallery which ‘focusses on the male form’ and which is situated in a beautifully restored East London period home.
