• Andy Warhol

  Tate Modern

  Delve into the fantastical world of Andy Warhol at the Tate Modern’s highly anticipated 2020 retrospective, thankfully extended until November. From his iconic pop images dedicated to Marilyn Monroe, to the Ladies and Gentlemen series (exhibited for the first time in 30 years) and an array of unseen pieces, this is an eclectic must-see showcase for Warhol enthusiasts world-wide.

• Gauguin and the Impressionists

  Royal Academy

  Copenhagen’s Ordrupgaard Collection is full of Impressionist masterpieces by the likes of Gauguin, Monet, Cézanne and more. Now, 60 pieces from the collection are on display for a limited time at the RA, some of which have never before been seen in the UK. Closing the exhibition on a high note is a career-spanning series of works by Gauguin, showcasing the artist’s development in use of colour and form, and inspiration from travels. Due to unsurprising high demand and social distancing measures, ticket release is limited, so keep an eye on the RA website. 7 August–18 October, royalacademy.org.uk

• Masculinities: Liberation through Photography

  The Barbican

  Disrupted just after its opening as a result of the pandemic, this photo exhibition exploring the many facets of masculinity has fortunately been extended until the end of August. Looking at how masculinity has been socially constructed and documented since the ’60s to the present – with an emphasis on the experience of LGBT and people of colour – it features the work of over 50 pioneering artists, including such 20th century heavyweights as Robert Mapplethorpe, Richard Avedon and Catherine Opie. Until 23 August, barbican.org.uk

• The Enchanted Interior

  Guildhall Art Gallery

  Delight in the works of over 50 established artists in The Enchanted Interior, an exploration of the historic impression of women in ‘enclosed and ornate spaces’. A fusion of paintings, photography, film and more, from the Pre-Raphaelites to present day examine the concept of the ‘gilded cage’ in this thought-provoking exhibition. Daniella Saunders Extended until 30 August, cityoflondon.org.uk

• Joan Miró and Alexander Calder: Simpatico

  Eames Fine Art Gallery

  Bursting with colour, this exhibition offers a rare chance to view and purchase lithographs by two giants of 20th century abstract art. Sharing a certain artistic sensibility, Miró and Calder kept up their close friendship even when separated by the Atlantic Ocean and the devastating period of WWII. Of their aesthetic confluence, Alexander Calder commented ‘Well, the archaeologist will tell you there’s a little bit of Miró in Calder and a little bit of Calder in Miró.’ Viewed side by side, both can be enjoyed even more fully. 8–30 August, eamesfineart.com

• About the Human Figure

  Michael Werner Gallery

  Having reopened in July, Michael Werner Gallery is running a new exhibition titled About the Human Figure, in tandem with an online exhibition. It explores different depictions of the human figure in art, with paintings and sculptures from a range of artists including James Lee Byars, Enrico David, Peter Doig and Florian Krewer.
