Herbert Lachmayer and Alfred Weidinger on Gustav Klimt
To coincide with Tate Liverpool’s exhibition ‘Gustav Klimt: Painting, Design and Modern Life in Vienna 1900’, we bring together a cultural historian and a Klimt specialist to debate how the man who remains one of the world’s most popular modern artists took voyeurism to new heights.

Claire Daigle on Cy Twombly
Coinciding with Cy Twombly’s 80th birthday, Tate Modern is staging the first retrospective of the American artist’s work for twenty years. Claire Daigle charts his time since the 1950s.
Christopher Miles on John Baldessari
The American artist John Baldessari has influenced several generations of younger artists, and has, since the 1960s, consistently renegotiated his own working practice. Christopher Miles pays him a visit.
