The Facts
On October 16, 2026, Gagosian announced a conversation between artist Richard Wright and Christine Riding, director of collections and research at the National Gallery, London, to mark the tenth anniversary of Wright's site-responsive work No Title (2016). The talk will take place at the Queen's House in Greenwich, London, on October 22, 2026, and will focus on the creation and legacy of the gold-leaf ceiling installation covering the Great Hall, a surface that remained empty for more than three centuries. Riding commissioned the work in 2016 during her tenure at the Royal Museums Greenwich, and the discussion will address how Wright drew on the building's architecture, including its wrought-iron Tulip Stairs.
The Signal
The anniversary program underscores how a prominent gallery continues to support a major public commission, reinforcing Wright's standing in the contemporary art field and drawing attention to site-specific installation as a career milestone. For collectors, the event signals the lasting institutional value of works like No Title, which remains on view in a historic royal setting and represents a distinctive convergence of contemporary practice and architectural heritage.
