The most comprehensive monograph on figurative painter Jenny Saville whose large-scale nudes
continue to challenge accepted ideals of beauty. Thirteen years after her first Rizzoli
monograph British artist Jenny Saville an original member of the Young British Artists
releases her most definitive book including never-before-published paintings from her most
recent exhibition at Gagosian in New York. This much-anticipated volume unites new work with
many of Saville's paintings and drawings to date accompanied by essays that explore Saville's
continuing fascination with the human body within a broad art-historical context. The book also
features Saville in an extensive conversation with acclaimed American photographer Sally Mann.
An illustrated chronology of Saville's career completes this elegant volume. This beautifully
produced monograph is an important addition to the library on one of the world's most
influential and enduring living painters.
