Featuring artists and galleries who have made a significant impact on Independent’s history, 15 x15: Independent 2010-2024 is curated by the fair’s founder Elizabeth Dee and founding curatorial advisor Matthew Higgs with the generous support of the participating galleries.
In a new essay commissioned for Independent Features, writer Charlotte Jansen looks at “the strange and beguiling worlds” of Tomasz Machciński and Tom Wilkins, “both outsiders who brought a raw, deeply personal intensity to the genre of portraiture, yielding staggering bodies of work and often disturbing results.”
