‘Richard Smith: Artworks 1954 - 2013’ will be published on 27 October

Vardaxoglou Gallery will host the London book launch of ‘Richard Smith. Artworks 1954-2013’ on Thursday 27 October.

As an artist, Richard Smith (1931-2016) defies easy categorisation. Known as one of the fathers of Pop art, in his Tate retrospective in 1975 he was described by critic Barbara Rose as ‘at once in and out of touch with the currents of the mainstream’. With essays from David Alan Mellor, Chris Stephens and Alex Massouras, this new study is intended to reignite discourse around this diverse artist, whose impressive oeuvre is fertile territory for a new reassessment. Published by The Estate of Francis Bacon Publishing, in association with Thames & Hudson.
