Leon Golub: Live & Die Like A Lion? May 16, 2010

The first major museum exhibition to focus on the late drawings of the American artist Leon Golub (1922-2004), this presentation will feature approximately 50 oil stick and ink on Bristol board and vellum drawings made between 1999 and 2004. It will also include Golub's only existent unfinished painting - a chalk sketch of two lions - which he started in 2001 but never completed, as well as preliminary !background' drawings and the artist's original source material from a variety of wide-circulating periodicals.
