Immortal Apples, Eternal Eggs

Immortal Apples, Eternal Eggs is a meeting of two of the UK’s most significant collections – The Ingram Collection and the David and Indrė Roberts Collection – and includes work from GRIMM artists Gabriella Boyd, Matthew Day Jackson, Louise Giovanelli and Lucy Skaer alongside Phyllida Barlow, Louise Bourgeois, Sir Anthony Caro, Patrick Caulfield, Michael Craig-Martin, Dame Elisabeth Frink, Sarah Lucas, Henry Moore and Ben Nicholson.

The exhibition juxtaposes world-class contemporary sculpture, video and installation alongside traditional still life painted works. It aims to challenge assumptions about this familiar genre, inviting new perspectives and asking viewers: what really is still life?

More than 50 artworks will be on display, created by more than 50 artists over the past 100 years.

The exhibition will begin with a dramatic and theatrical display in the gallery’s largest space, placing sculptures by Hew Locke, Phyllida Barlow and Ai Weiwei alongside paintings and prints by artists including Ansel Krut and Henry Moore.

The show will progress thematically, journeying through nature and culture, trace and absence, and production and consumption, while also delving into still life’s darker undercurrents of death, violence and exploitation.
