Queen of Hearts: Audrey Flack

Artist. Mother. Teacher. Rebel.

Nonagenarian artist Audrey Flack has always been a trailblazer. Her career, often controversial, evolved from abstract expressionism in the 50s to photorealism in the 70s - a movement Flack pioneered, as the only woman working in photorealism at the time.

Academy Award-winning filmmaker Deborah Shaffer’s Queen of Hearts: Audrey Flack is an uplifting, intimate and moving portrait of an artist returning to the canvas for the first time in decades. The documentary follows Flack as she takes her work in a brand new direction, still testing, still experimenting, still searching…

Until 29 May, two of Flack’s works are exhibited at Ikon Gallery, and we’re thrilled to present this film in partnership with Ikon.

After the film, a prerecorded Q&A with Audrey Flack and Deborah Shaffer will screen, hosted by Jonathan Watkins, Ikon Director.
