A tour of Alice Neel: Hot Off The Griddle suitable for blind and partially sighted visitors, led by Lisa Squirrel who will describe key works on display. 

The largest exhibition to date in the UK of American artist Alice Neel (1900–1984) whose vivid portraits capture the shifting social and political context of the American twentieth century.

Organised in collaboration with the Centre Pompidou, Paris, this exhibition brings together over 70 of Neel’s most vibrant portraits, shown alongside archival photography and film, bringing to life what she called ’the swirl of the era’.
