As part of this year’s FT Weekend Festival in London, Glenn Brown will be in conversation with Financial Times arts editor Jan Dalley on the Arts Stage to discuss his recent paintings and layered portraits, as well as the opening of the Brown Collection last year, which is home to his art collection and archive as well as four floors of exhibition space. After the talk, Brown will sign copies of his new book, We’ll Keep On Dancing Till We Pay the Rent, in the Gagosian tent. The exhibition catalogue and other new Gagosian titles will be available for purchase with a 25% discount, and a selection of historical gallery publications will be offered for £10 each in conjunction with the Six Hundred Books display at the Gagosian Shop in Burlington Arcade.
Gagosian is partnering with the Financial Times to host the Arts Stage at the one-day festival where leading experts discuss the arts, music, literature, food, business, and technology, with recent Gagosian Quarterly films screened between sessions on the stage throughout the day.

Online Reading
Glenn Brown
Come to Dust
Glenn Brown: Come to Dust is available for online reading from April 28 through May 27 as part of Artist Spotlight: Glenn Brown. The book documents a 2018 exhibition at Gagosian, Grosvenor Hill, London, which featured oil paintings, drawings in period frames, grisaille panel works, etchings, and sculptures that attest to the ever-intensifying dexterity with which Brown employs paint, content, and form. A text by author Hari Kunzru and a conversation between Brown and curator Xavier Bray offer insight into the artist’s work.
