In 1976, American-born R.B. Kitaj applied the label School of London to his work and that of other figurative artists then living in that city. The journalistic usefulness of the moniker ensured that it would stick, and a rash of shows under that loose rubric have appeared over the years. Two original "members," Francis Bacon and Michael Andrews, are now dead; Kitaj has left London; Lucian Freud, Frank Auerbach, and Leon Kossoff are into their late period. But one thing still unites the amorphous group: the passionate patronage of New Yorkers Elaine and Melvin Merians. In this seventy-work exhibition curated by the Yale Center's Patrick McCaughey, the couple's walls have been stripped to allow the public a chance to see their collection whole. Oct. 11, 2000- Jan. 7, 2001.
