Unfinished... Works from The Courtauld Gallery Until 20 September 2015
This special display brings together paintings, sculpture, drawings and prints from the Renaissance to the early 20th century that have all been described - rightly or wrongly - as 'unfinished'. These significant works of art allow us to explore what it means for an artist to consider a work as finished and what happens when critics disagree.
