Wifredo Lam’s work lies between East and West, Surrealism and tradition, Africa and the Caribbean, Europe and America. Tracing a career of six decades, The EY Exhibition: Wifredo Lam is the first museum exhibition in London since 1952 of this artist and confirms Lam’s place at the centre of global modernism.
Within this talk Matthew Gale touches upon Lam’s relationships with artists and writers such as Pablo Picasso and André Breton. Following the hour-long talk, guests have the opportunity to explore the exhibition after hours for themselves.
