Keith Cunningham: The Lost Master

Peter Doig, Damien Hirst, Hans Ulrich Obrist

Cunningham was a revered contemporary of Francis Bacon and Frank Bowling, a group that would go on to define post-war British art, and trained at the Royal College of Art in the 1950s alongside Leon Kossoff and Joe Tilson.

Unlike his contemporaries, however, Cunningham walked away from the spotlight. By the late 1960s, he had turned his back on the public art world entirely, and for more than four decades his talent was known only to a circle of insiders — but unseen and undistracted Cunningham quietly created some of the most powerful and uncompromising works of post-war British art enjoyed by some of the most influential artists and critics of today.
