Must see Art Exhibitions
By Tabby Earthrowl Law & Ellie Crawford
Tate Britain:
The EY Exhibition Van Gogh and Britain
Until 11 August 2019
Free entry for Members
The EY Exhibition: Van Gogh and Britain presents the largest collection of Van Gogh’s paintings in the UK for nearly a decade. Some of his most famous works will be brought together from around the world – including Shoes, Starry Night on the Rhône, L'Arlésienne, and two works he made while a patient at the Saint-Paul Asylum, At Eternity’s Gate and Prisoners Exercising. They will be joined by the very rarely lent Sunflowers from London’s National Gallery.
Tate Modern:
ARTIST ROOMS: Jenny Holzer
Until 7 July 2019
Admission free
American artist Jenny Holzer presents statements that can provoke strong responses. Whether encountered on city streets or in art galleries, Holzer's work asks us to consider the words and messages that surround us. Her art takes many forms, including stone benches, projections, signs, posters, paintings, plaques and textiles.
The National Gallery:
Sea Star: Sean Scully at the National Gallery
13 April – 11 August 2019
Admission free
See new work by Sean Scully inspired by the National Gallery Collection and Joseph Mallord William Turner’s ‘The Evening Star’. In this new work Irish-born, American-based Scully (born 1945) takes Turner’s atmospheric landscape as his starting point. The exhibition charts Scully’s personal journey of deep admiration for colour, composition, and the power of painting.
The National Portrait Gallery:

Henry Moore Studios & Gardens:
Henry Moore Drawings: The Art of Seeing
5 April - 27 October 2019
Admission Free
The largest exhibition devoted entirely to Moore’s drawings in 40 years, this show considers Moore’s interest in this medium throughout his career. From the life studies of the 1920s to the ideas for sculpture of the 1930s, the wartime Shelter and Coalmine drawings and the post-war and late drawings, for over six decades Moore’s drawing was animated by a sheer delight in the medium and an unfailing creative energy
