Richard Diebenkorn is regarded as one of the most significant artists in post-war America. His work captures a sense of the light and place in which he worked, of New Mexico and California, and reveals his mastery as a consummate colourist.

In this lecture, curator Edith Devaney explores the life and work of Richard Diebenkorn and considers why this is the first UK exhibition of such a major artist in over 20 years.

Richard Diebenkorn is on in The Sackler Wing of Burlington House until 7 June.
