Eleanor Antin: Romans & Kings

Eleanor Antin Richard Saltoun

The first exhibition in London of the pioneering American Feminist filmmaker, performance and conceptual artist Eleanor Antin.

A key figure of conceptual art movements of the 1970s; Eleanor Antin’s ground-breaking practice spans five decades and has covered themes surrounding identity, gender, autobiography, class and social structures. Antin’s multi-disciplinary approach includes installation, painting, drawing, writing and most notably photography and performance. Rearticulating historical narratives, both real and fictitious, she explores the tropes of feminist and conceptual art. Today as an octogenarian artist, she remains one of the world’s leading Feminist artists.

The debut exhibition at Richard Saltoun Gallery consists of recent and historical works from two of Antin’s most iconic bodies of work: ‘Helen’s Odyssey’ (2007) and ‘The Last Days of Pompeii’ (2002) both take as their inspiration key allegorical moments in Greek or Roman mythology.
