Entering Room 1 of the South Gallery you spot Marcel Duchamp's hand -
coloured collotype of his painting
Nude Descending a Staircase, 1912, a large Patrick Caulfield and a Gillian Carnegie still life sharing the opposite wall, underscoring Schwabsky's
point that «detached from the model, painting can proceed from image to image».
From early on in her career, her works surprised and even shocked viewers with their unexpected
colour choices — the yellow and green - tinged skin of her 1908 Yellow
Nude is a case in
point.
