Jenny Saville

Red Stare

A commanding work on paper by Jenny Saville, *Red Stare* (2012) exemplifies the artist's unflinching exploration of the human form through raw, visceral mark-making. This rare impression, numbered 20/50, holds particular significance as a private edition never released to the public, instead gifted by Saville directly to the staff of Modern Art Oxford to commemorate her exhibition there. The personal nature of its distribution makes this a uniquely intimate record of the artist's relationship with the institution.
