18 October 2009 - 21 March 2010

The exhibition is still on show during TEFAF 2010.

From her earliest portraits of 19th-century heroes to her more recent paintings, featuring friends from the world of music, fashion and literature, Elizabeth Peyton has presented herself as a contemporary 'painter of modern life', in the sense that Charles Baudelaire meant it. Peyton's miniature portraits capture the spirit of the times in an artistic language that unmistakeably reflects late 20th-century urban sensitivity. The museum is presenting the first comprehensive retrospective of Peyton's oeuvre in the Netherlands, mounted by the New Museum in New York, comprising work of the past eighteen years, beginning with a small-scale portrait of Napoleon Bonaparte and going up to one of fashion designer Marc Jacobs.

Live Forever: Elizabeth Peyton has been organized by theNew Museum, New York.

Banana Republic is the global sponsor of the exhibtion.

The Turing Foundation is the main supporter of the exhibition.

Klara is mediapartner of the exhibition.

The exhibition is accompanied by a comprehensive catalogue, Live Forever: Elizabeth Peyton, co-published by the New Museum and Phaidon, Ltd, including a large section of artworks, photographs and ephemeral material designed in collaboration with Elizabeth Peyton.
