Title: Maggi Hambling THE WORKS and conversations with Andrew Lambirth Author: Maggi Hambling and Andrew Lambirth List price: £40.00 ISBN: 0 906290 84 8 Contents: Not shy of confrontation, Hambling’s arresting work has often caused controversy; A Conversation with Oscar Wilde unveiled in 1998, Scallop, her sculpture in Aldeburgh celebrating Benjamin Britten, and most recently her Portrait of Michael Jackson refused by the Royal Academy. All have been hotly debated in the media. Alongside reproductions of 200 of her paintings, drawings and sculptures, is her frank and at times deeply moving commentary on her life and work. Beyond the performance and clowning, we discover an artist whose humanity is the vital element in her work.
Reviews: "Maggi Hambling is as articulate
in person as she is adventurous in her painting.
In conversation with Andrew Lambirth she is
funny, moving and occasionally scurrilous. This
book is a rich source of information about her
life and art." Charles Saumarez Smith,
Director,
National Gallery
