Join broadcaster Louisa Buck and art historians Dominic Johnson and Ian Massey to explore the world of Andrew Heard (1958-1993), whose provocative perspective transformed British post-pop art in the 1980s and 1990s. Examining queer identity, visual culture and artistic legacy, this conversation will illuminate an important but little-discussed artist.
Heard was regarded by contemporary artists including his mentors Gilbert & George, as well as by David Hockney, John Stezaker, and Derek Jarman, all of whom supported and/or wrote about his work. Heard died from an AIDS-related illness in London in January 1993.
Organised in collaboration with Amanda Wilkinson Gallery, London.
