Jenny Saville: The Anatomy of Painting
Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth

Made the worthwhile pilgrimage to DFW to catch this before it ends. Originally presented at the National Portrait Gallery in London, this is Saville’s first major museum show in the US. One of my all-time faves and inspirations.

It’s about oil and regime change.
