Here, Alexandra Fairweather, Director of the John Chamberlain Estate, and Sotheby's Kathleen Hart take a closer look at the captivating ‘CUPCAKECUTIE.’ This monochromatic work showcases the energy and innovation that defined Chamberlain’s practice. ‘CUPCAKECUTIE’ is one of 17 works included in ‘The Energy of Form: Works from the Estate of John Chamberlain.’ The exhibition opens to the public on 18 September alongside Independent 20th Century @independent_hq, taking place 24–27 September.
