The Stand–Ins: Figurative Painting from the Zabludowicz Collection features 50 artists from the Collection who are engaged in processes of painting the human body. It maps lines of influence across generations, featuring seminal figures alongside important new voices. Rather than simply depicting exterior appearances, the artists brought together here map interior psychological spaces. Their work shows the sheer exuberance, imagination and humour with which artists continue to reimagine themselves and others via paint.

The publication includes a foreword by Director, Elizabeth Neilson, an introduction by Senior Curator, Paul Luckraft and two artist interviews: Robin F. Williams in conversation with Paul Luckraft, and Tesfaye Urgessa in conversation with Kami Gahiga. A new short text on each artist accompanies colour illustrations of selected works from the Collection.
