Paula Rego's intense three-year period explored in new Galerie Lelong show

Galerie Lelong & Co. will present "Paula Rego: Drawing from Life" from May 21 to July 11, 2026. The exhibition focuses on a prolific three-year period from 2005 to 2007, showcasing works that highlight the artist's distinctive narrative style and use of pastel and charcoal. The show includes the 1988 piece "Good Morning," courtesy of the artist and the gallery.
