This interesting show traces Arikha’s artistic career from the mid-60s to his death in 2010. He started drawing when in a concentration camp during the last war and started out as an abstract artist but a meeting with Giacometti led him to change direction. As well as his distinctive figural works there is also a selection of charming still-life pictures.

I think many of you will agree that this is a most agreeable way for Offer Waterman to open their new Mayfair gallery with a display of more than fifty of these early Hockney drawings which will then go on to be shown at New York’s Paul Kasmin Gallery. Some of the works are on loan while others are for sale.
