Artists taking part in Drawing Room's exhibition programme are invited to compile ‘reading lists’ that inform and expand the themes explored in their works. This list has been compiled for The Nakeds, a group exhibition curated by artist David Austen, looking at drawings of the body exposed. Titles marked with an asterisk * are held in Outset Study.
