Five London Exhibitions in 2025
This year, London’s art world promises an exciting group of exhibitions, from emerging artists to established icons, covering diverse practices from around the globe.
Turner Prize 2024
The Turner Prize, Britain’s most anticipated art award, sets the tone for contemporary debates concerning the state of the visual arts in the country.
Frieze London and Frieze Masters 2024
Just like last year, painting is in abundance at Frieze London, while sculptural and three-dimensional works seem to have taken a step back, retreating closer to the comfort of the walls.
Yayoi Kusama: Every Day I Pray for Love
Renowned for her immersive installations, large-scale sculptures, infinity rooms, and her use of polka dots and bright colours, Yayoi Kusama is one of the most well-known contemporary artists.
All Rendered Truth: Lonnie Holley (Camden Art Centre)
“All Rendered Truth” is one of the most enthralling exhibitions currently on view in London. A solo show by celebrated artist and musician Lonnie Holley at Camden Art Centre, the exhibition features a series of new works produced during a residency in Suffolk and other never-seen pieces.
Five London exhibitions not to miss this Summer
As the vibrant summer season draws to a close, London’s art scene remains as dynamic as ever. With a plethora of exhibitions set to end in the coming months, now is the perfect time to catch these must-see shows before they close their doors.
Now You See Us: Women Artists in Britain 1520-1920 (Tate Britain)
This exhibition title, impactful and choral, is indeed a provocative reminder of the solidarity’s feeling that unites women from all ages, forced to fight in order to redeem themselves first as women, and then, in this case, as artists.
Dora Maar: Behind the Lens (Amar Gallery)
The exhibition showcases a unique selection (bought recently by the artist’s estate) of photograms and photographs from her time living with Picasso.
Angel with a Gun: Homage to Guy Brett (Alison Jacques)
This exhibition features 59 works by artists from Brazil, Chile, and Venezuela, many of which have rarely been seen, drawn from the collection of English art critic Guy Brett (1942-2021).
The Last Caravaggio (National Gallery)
If you had to sum up the life and work of Michelangelo Merisi Da Caravaggio in one word, it’d be drama. A dramatic life, with equally dramatic paintings.
