The Schoelkopf Gallery has unveiled a landmark exhibition that brings to light a body of work unseen for nearly five decades. Jamie Wyeth: Portraits of Andy Warhol and Rudolf Nureyev presents the artist's strikingly intimate studies of two cultural giants of the 20th century. Opening September 12 and running through October 17, 2025, the show revisits Wyeth's silken realism and offers a rare glimpse into his artistic dialogue with Pop Art's enfant terrible Andy Warhol and ballet's electrifying star Rudolf Nureyev.

The Los Angeles-based artist Edward Cushenberry uses the format of the polaroid to explore the people and places that make him who he is. But, he doesn't do so in the 'traditional' way - he draws them. Choosing coloured pencils and inks over photography, Edward's pieces are still framed and captured like photo. Figures - often loosely based on Edwards friends - are candid and seemingly capture in motion, these images are then made dynamic and animated with the slivers of dialogue offered as hand-drawn captions.

Born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Georges attended St. John's University in New York, where he specialized in photography and directing. His work spans personal projects as well as fashion and editorial assignments that reflect a sensitivity to the people, places, and stories he encounters. Georges is interested in capturing moments of quiet intensity, exploring the passage of time, and fleeting emotions.

Philip I of Castile made his expectations for the painter perfectly clear: His daughters Eleanor and Isabella, positioned to the left and right of his son Charles, were not to appear pale or sickly. Instead, they were to embody vibrant life rosy-cheeked, dressed in splendid garments, and as beautiful as can be. The painting, completed in 1502, was then replicated multiple times

Nadav Kander is a Kentish Town-based photographer who is well known for his moody, atmospheric photographs. Scratch that, he's the man behind some of my most beloved photographs of artists, such as David Lynch, Adam Pearson, Benicio Del Toro and other magnetic subjects, in which his photographic eye for light and darkness pulls powerful auras from the celebrity faces we have seen thousands of times.
