Walton Ford and Glenn Brown in Conversation at Galerie Max Hetzler London
The Facts
On July 30, 2026, Galerie Max Hetzler announced a conversation between artists Walton Ford and Glenn Brown, to be held at 6:30 p.m. on September 16, 2026, at the gallery's location at 41 Dover Street, London. The event coincides with Ford's solo exhibition at the gallery. RSVP is required due to limited capacity. Separately, Brown's solo exhibition "Grottoesque" is on view at No. 1 Royal Crescent, Bath, featuring paintings and drawings responding to the Georgian shell grotto and landscapes, including three large-scale paintings of multiple heads in shell-encrusted frames. This is part of a double presentation across two Bath museums, with "Brown in Bath: Arrows of Desire" opening concurrently at The Holburne Museum, where recent works are hung among the museum's permanent collection. Additionally, The Brown Collection in London presents "Hoi Polloi," a group exhibition curated by Brown exploring representations of the ordinary man from the sixteenth century to the present.
The Signal
The conversation between Ford and Brown offers a rare opportunity to hear two leading contemporary painters discuss their practices, likely touching on historical references and materiality that define both artists' work. For collectors, the event signals the gallery's commitment to fostering dialogue around its program, while Brown's concurrent Bath presentations underscore his growing institutional presence in the UK. The group show at The Brown Collection further positions Brown as a curator, expanding his influence beyond his own studio practice.
