Erica Rutherford @ Richard Saltoun Gallery

A comprehensive exhibition dedicated to Erica Rutherford (1923–2008), one of the first openly transgender British artists.   The exhibition presents a survey of Rutherford’s work, with a show of paintings and works on paper from the 1970s to the 1990s, with a particular emphasis on her later series, The Human Comedy.  In the exhibition are two significant earlier bodies of work from the 1970s: her self-portraits and abstract landscapes; both reflect Rutherford’s personal journey of transitioning, and the impact of this experience on her evolving artistic practice.
