On view 27 September 2024–5 January 2025, this major exhibition explores the notion of the uncanny in the work of Francisco de Goya y Lucientes (1746–1828) and Paula Rego (1935–2022).
The first exhibition to display Goya’s Los disparates (The Follies) (1815-1823), and Rego’s Nursery Rhymes (1989) in their entirety will also include a selection of Rego’s three-dimensional objects – sculptures and studio props.
Included in the exhibition, on public view for the first time, is a display of Goya etchings that Rego herself owned and which hung around her bed, making these the first and last images that she gazed upon every day.
