Senon Williams: Further/Farther

You walk in and an egg is sitting in an armchair, facing three huge paintings. It is Jane McAdam Freud's Forgotten Memory, an oversized wire-mesh egg placed as if it were listening, which leaves open who is analysing whom. Along the foot of the panels runs a hand-painted poem: "I was fine before I spoke."

Senon Williams, a Los Angeles painter and musician, made the work for the museum's Showroom Berggasse 19 on the Freud Artist Residency, which took him to London, Vienna and Příbor. His three canvases join into one panorama of abstracted bodies, landscape and egg shapes, at a scale the residency compares to 19th-century panorama paintings. Freud spent decades in the armchair behind the couch in this building, and now the armchair belongs to an egg.

It is one installation, so pair it with Freud's apartment and practice in the same building. It runs until 3 October 2027, and the museum is closed on Tuesdays.
