Considered to be one of the greatest and most original American artists of the 20th Century, Wayne Thiebaud (1920-2021) made his name in the US in the early 1960s. Known for his remarkable, vibrant and lushly painted still lifes of quintessentially post-war American subjects, from diner food and deli counters to gumball dispensers and pinball machines, he transformed these everyday objects into the stuff of profound modern painting.
This is the first-ever museum exhibition of Thiebaud’s work to be staged in the UK.
