Sickert: A Life in Art at the Walker Art Gallery

Only until 27 February 2022 Book now

Awarded 5 stars by the Guardian and 4 stars by the Telegraph Sickert: A Life in Art is the largest retrospective of the artist’s work to have been held in the UK for more than 30 years. It’s impossible to imagine what the course of modern and contemporary British art would have looked like without the radical influence of Walter Richard Sickert (1860-1942).    Never an artist to stand still, no matter his subject; he always pushed himself exploring technique, colour and atmosphere.  His work continuously evolved throughout his career and he was a great supporter of emerging artists during his life, continuing to influence many of the greats after his death, including Lucian Freud, Francis Bacon and this year’s John Moores Painting Prize winner Kathryn Maple.   From 17 December 2021 to 9 January 2022 you can enjoy this acclaimed retrospective with 20% off the ticket price, that’s only £8.80 for concessions and £9.60 for adults. Reason enough to introduce yourself to Sickert during the holidays! Book now
