Ben Nicholson: From the Studio
Saturday 26 June - Sunday 24 October 2021
An intimate look at Ben Nicholson's everyday inspirations
Throughout his career, Ben Nicholson (1894 – 1982) transformed everyday homewares into extraordinary experiments in abstract art.
Nicholson’s studio was filled with objects that inspired him.
From patterned mocha-ware jugs and cut glass goblets to spanners, hammers and chisels, these ordinary personal possessions were a source of almost endless inspiration to the artist.
This exhibition brings together for the first time Nicholson’s paintings, reliefs, prints and drawings alongside his rarely seen personal possessions and studio tools.
It traces how the artist’s style developed, from his early traditional tabletop still lifes to his later abstract works.

Turner's Modern World
Until 12 Sep 2021
Paid entrance
At Tate Britain, Turner’s Modern World (until September 12) explores how one of Britain’s greatest artists recorded a period of intense environmental, social and technological change – the Industrial Revolution. Living and working at the peak of the revolution, Turner’s fascination with the way the world was changing around him is evident through his prolific and revered artworks. Bringing together some of the artist’s major works the exhibition explores what it meant to be a modern artist in Turner’s time, and explores his involvement in political and social causes of the time.

Eileen Agar: Angel of Anarchy
19 May - 29 Aug 2021
Whether dancing on the rooftops in Paris, sharing ideas with Pablo Picasso, or gathering starfish on the beaches of Cornwall, Eileen Agar (b.1899 Buenos Aires – d.1991 London) transformed the everyday into the extraordinary. Her unique style nimbly spanned painting, collage, photography and sculpture, even ceremonial hats. Combining order and chaos, Agar’s work fuses vivid abstraction with imagery from classical art, the natural world, and sexual pleasure.
Phantoms of Surrealism
19 May - 12 Dec 2021
On a hot summer day of 1936, a woman dressed in a bridal gown paraded in Trafalgar Square; her head completely covered in roses. The mystery woman puzzled passers-by and later that day made the newspaper headlines.
Artist Sheila Legge’s (1911–49) appearance as ‘the phantom of Surrealism’ launched the ‘London International Surrealist Exhibition’, held at the New Burlington Galleries in Mayfair.
The archive exhibition Phantoms of Surrealism will examine the pivotal role of women as both artists and as behind-the-scenes organisers within Surrealism in Britain in the 1930s.
A Glittering City: Ayo Akingbade with Duchamp & Sons
19 May - 15 Aug 2021
Concrete tower blocks, glossy high rises, red buses and trains in transit weave the social landscape of everyday London living. Speaking to architects, public sector workers and young people, artist and filmmaker Ayo Akingbade creates moving image work that forges conversations on urbanism, gentrification, power and resilience.
How do you come to feel part of a community? Over six months, Akingbade collaborated with Whitechapel Gallery’s youth collective Duchamp & Sons to explore ideas of place and belonging. Through workshops, screenings and fieldwork in the local area, they traced memories of displacement and the meaning of home, interrogating present challenges and future aspirations.
