Leon Kossoff

Luhring Augustine, Chelsea New York / Chelsea
Exhibition on view: Apr 16, 2026 - Jun 20, 2026

This exhibition brings together paintings from across the career of British artist Leon Kossoff (1926–2019). Kossoff built his practice around sustained observation and spontaneity, returning repeatedly to the same subjects—North and East London streets, rail stations, and the people closest to him. His paintings are dense, structurally rigorous, and deeply felt, treating portraiture and cityscape as ongoing dialogues rather than fixed records. A key figure of the School of London alongside Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud, and Frank Auerbach, Kossoff held painting as an enduring means of capturing lived experience.
