Keith Cunningham: The Lost Master

In this HENI Talks film, Damien Hirst, Peter Doig, Sir Frank Bowling, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Sir John Hegarty, amongst others, celebrate Keith Cunningham (1929–2014), a painter of astonishing skill, widely admired by peers and mentors alike, and uncover the artist's "Lost Masterpieces".

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.

HENI is proud to unveil Keith Cunningham: The Lost Master — a landmark commercial exhibition offering collectors the opportunity to acquire original works by one of the most gifted, yet mysteriously absent, voices in post-war art.
