Published to commemorate an exhibition presented by Gagosian in
partnership with English Heritage, this stunning volume centers on
Rembrandt s masterpiece Self-Portrait with Two Circles (c. 1665),
from the collection of Kenwood House in London. The painting is
considered to be Rembrandt s greatest late self-portrait and is
accompanied here by examples of the genre from leading artists of
the past one hundred years. These include works by Francis Bacon,
Jean-Michel Basquiat, Lucian Freud, and Pablo Picasso, as well as
contemporary artists such as Georg Baselitz, Glenn Brown, Urs
Fischer, Damien Hirst, Howard Hodgkin, Giuseppe Penone, Richard
Prince, Cindy Sherman, and Rudolf Stingel, among others. Also
featured is a new work by Jenny Saville, created in response to
Rembrandt s masterpiece. Full-color plates of the works, generous
details, and installation views of the exhibition accompany an
expansive essay by art historian David Freedberg that provides a
close look at the self-portraits created by Rembrandt throughout
his life and considers the role of the Dutch master as the
precursor of all modern painting.
