The Directors of Marlborough Fine Art are delighted to announce their forthcoming carefully-selected mini-retrospective of previously unseen paintings, drawings and prints by Ken Kiff that covers all aspects of his work and periods of his career from the early 1960's to his untimely death from cancer in 2001. The late Norbert Lynton, who played such a decisive role in bringing Kiff's work to public view, wrote: 'Ken's paintings I found amazing from the start: enchanting, then suddenly quite harsh and distancing, later more relaxed, sometimes positively joyful, often mysterious, drawing one into their depths with their colours and visual textures.'

A provocative and challenging contemporary artist, Ken Currie has engaged with a range of social questions, political issues, and intellectual debates. These underlying themes and subjects are analysed here to provide an insight into the subtle developments in his work.
