Installation view of Rialto, 1966, and Haven, 1966, which were both part of Tess Jaray’s solo show ‘Return to Vienna: The Paintings of Tess Jaray’ which took place at Secession, Vienna, Austria in 2021 @viennasecession. The two works are currently on view at the gallery. Tess Jaray, ‘Paintings from 1966’ runs through till 11 December. #tessjaray @tessjaray 02 Nov 2026

In 1966, Tess Jaray contributed three paintings to a landmark exhibition at The Stedelijk Museum @stedelijkmuseum, Amsterdam titled ‘Vormen van de Kleur’ (New Shapes of Colour), 19 November 1966 - 15 January 1967. Jaray was the only woman amongst 37 artists in the exhibition which included the likes of Frank Stella, Donald Judd, Josef Albers and Barnett Newman. The exhibition showcased abstraction, hard-edge painting and minimalism, where colour and geometric form took centre stage – encapsulated by Stella’s famous quote, “what you see is what you see”. Jaray’s inclusion was a monumental milestone, validating her as a key driver of international abstract trends and proving that women were operating at the cutting edge of pioneering artistic movements. Designed by Wim Crouwel and Josje Pollman, the catalogue was issued as a stock card slipcase folder containing 37 loose sheets, one for each artist in the exhibition. ‘Paintings from 1966’ continues at the gallery until Friday 4 December. #tessjaray @tessjaray 28 Oct 2026

Gerda Boehm first sat for Auerbach in 1961 and was portrayed by him repeatedly until 1982. She was an older cousin and would be the only family member Auerbach saw in the UK after leaving Germany before the Second World War broke out. His portraits of her are perhaps the most emotionally charged and psychologically arresting of his works. The intense impasto of paint layers mirrors Auerbach’s persevering scrutiny of the sitter while also reflecting his uniquely passionate approach to portraiture, continuously striving to capture the unique presence of the person, the very essence of the being seated before him: ‘...the paint became thicker and thicker, and I didn’t notice it...The surface of the painting was eloquent, but it wasn’t eloquent for its own sake... It wasn’t intentional at all. But on the other hand, I was quite prepared to let anything happen because I wanted to make something new.’* Frieze Masters @friezeofficial is now open Stand B5 14-18 October 2026 (VIP preview 14-15 October) Wednesday, October 14: 11am - 7pm (invitation only) Thursday, October 15: 11am – 1pm Friday, October 16: 11am - 7pm Saturday, October 17: 11am - 7pm Sunday, October 18: 11am – 6pm Artwork: Frank Auerbach, Head of Gerda Boehm, 1967 * W.

“A new landscape orientation in Jaray’s work was introduced with ‘Garden of Anna’, 1966 [Tate Collection, London], and this wider perspective was adopted and extended in ‘Rialto’, 1966. The sheer breadth of this canvas brings to mind the majestic span of Venice’s iconic bridge. The wide composition emerged through preparatory drawings, with points of geometry determining the ultimate format of the work.” Excerpt taken from ‘A Completeness of Opposites: The Art of Tess Jaray’ by Natalie Rudd @_natalie_rudd_ 2017. Tess Jaray: ‘Paintings from 1966’ continues at 44 Duke Street St James’s until 11 December 2026. #tessjaray @tessjaray Artwork: Rialto, 1966  📸 @jackelliotedwards 02 Oct 2026

Curator Natalie Rudd on Tess Jaray, 'Paintings from 1966' at Ben Hunter Gallery (25 September - 11 December 2026): 'In my view, they are among the finest works of her career. Like Tess, they stand out for their assured elegance and poise. These were made when Tess was just 28 years old, still a young artist, but already working with confidence and on an ambitious scale. These works emerged from a busy life as Tess juggled her career alongside motherhood. They fully hold their own in the male-dominated field of 1960s abstract painting, but they also beguile through their assured uncertainty. Their subtle colouration creates a kind of blur, drawing the eye into the work and into a zone of deep contemplation.' Film by @matttowndrow 22 Oct 2026

Tess Jaray: ‘Paintings from 1966’ opens tonight 6-8PM. Please join us to celebrate the gallery’s first solo exhibition dedicated to her work.

Over the past six decades, Tess Jaray (1937-2026) has been acknowledged as a major pioneering figure in abstract art. During the 1960’s she was exhibiting at the world’s most prestigious institutions alongside acclaimed 20thCentury artists such as David Hockney and Bridget Riley at Moderna Museet, Stockholm (1965), Karl Appel and Jesús Rafael Soto at Musée du Louvre, Paris (1966), Frank Stella and Donald Judd at Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam (1966), and Francis Bacon and Ben Nicholson at Tate, London (1967). For Tess Jaray’s first solo exhibition at the gallery, we are presenting four paintings from one of the most formative years in her artistic development, 1966. Please join us on Thursday 24 September 6-8pm to celebrate these extraordinary works and Jaray’s significant contribution to modern and contemporary art.
