Marina Warner

3 December 2026, 7pm – LRB event with Celia Paul, on her book ‘Objects of Desire: An Artist in Venice’

November 9, 2026

Taking place at the London Review Bookshop (14 Bury Pl, London WC1A 2JL), this is a conversation between Celia Paul and Marina:

In Objects of Desire Celia Paul, perhaps the most significant artist working in Britain today, records her artistic practice while working alone during an artist’s residency in Venice. Inspired by the art and literature of the city, Paul meditates on love, grief, ageing and belonging, but above all on her primary vocation, that of a painter. She will be in conversation with cultural critic and LRB contributor Marina Warner.
