The Facts
On November 5, 2026, Gagosian announced a conversation about René Magritte scheduled for Monday, November 16, 2026, from 6:30 to 7:15 pm at its Grosvenor Hill gallery in London. The talk will feature Gagosian director Richard Calvocoressi, a Magritte scholar and member of the Comité Magritte, and Jasper Sharp, cocurator of the exhibition "This Is Still Not a Pipe: The Afterlife of Magritte" currently on view at the gallery. The exhibition examines Magritte's legacy by juxtaposing significant works from across his career with pieces by over forty contemporary artists. Sharp will discuss the curatorial approach and exhibition design, while Calvocoressi will address Magritte's oeuvre more broadly. The event is free and open to the public.
