FIGURE/S: drawing after Bellmer, Artists’ Reading Lists Part 2

Artists and curators taking part in Drawing Room's exhibition programme are invited to compile ‘reading lists’ that inform and expand the themes explored in their work. This list has been compiled by the curators of FIGURE/S: drawing after Bellmer, an exhibition that explores the body as a site of oppression, liberation and troubling pleasures through the work of modern and contemporary artists. Titles marked with an asterisk * are held in Outset Study.  This list follows FIGURE/S: drawing after Bellmer, Artists’ Reading Lists Part 1.
