• Masterpieces from Buckingham Palace

  The Queen’s Gallery, Buckingham Palace

  This December, 65 paintings that usually hang in the Picture Gallery at Buckingham Palace will be brought together in a gallery exhibition, titled Masterpieces from Buckingham Palace. The collection includes renowned works from the likes of Titian, Rembrandt, Vermeer, van Dyck and Canaletto, with visitors being encouraged to consider the artists’ intentions and reflect on why we consider the pieces to be ‘masterpieces’. 4 December 2020 – January 2022.

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.

• Louisa Risch: Nuance in Nature

  Studio F, Chelsea Studios

  From florals and delicacies to purple fields, Louisa Risch’s inspiring still life and landscape paintings will be showcased in a new exhibition, Nuance in Nature, at Chelsea Studios net month. Influenced by the likes of Sorolla, Manet, and further impressionist artists, Risch’s vivd works highlight beauty in the ordinary – a delicious treat for the eyes. 18-24 September 2020.

• 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 its status as one of the hottest art exhibitions in London and current 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

• Turner’s Modern World

  Tate Britain, London

  Though Turner is often remembered for his turbulent seascapes, this exhibition highlights the artist’s interest in the technological and societal changes of the Industrial Revolution, which was at its peak in his lifetime. While Turner’s luminous, hazy landscapes and historical paintings might seem tame by today’s standards, in his own lifetime the artist was seen as a controversial and anti-establishment figure for his unusual brush work and ‘modern’ subject matter. 28 October 2020 – 7 March 2021, tate.org.uk

• 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.

• London Calling: 40 Years of The Clash

  Museum of London

  Few musical acts have left their mark on the capital quite as profoundly as punk band The Clash, who rounded off the ’70s with a bang by releasing their now-legendary double record London Calling. A must-visit for music fans, this exhibition brings together a huge range of the band’s personal effects, from Joe Strummer’s still-pertinent lyrics to Paul Simonon’s broken Fender Precision Bass, captured in a photograph by Pennie Smith and forever immortalised on the record’s cover. Until 6 September. museumoflondon.org.uk

• Titian: Love, Desire, Death

  National Gallery

  C&TH’s culture columnist Ed Vaizey marked this landmark exhibition as one of 2020’s unmissable shows – and it’s easy to see why. Six artworks by the Italian master –  a commission by Prince Phillip of Spain in 1551 – are exhibited together for the first time in over four centuries: they portray Titian’s sensuous interpretation of scenes from classical mythology, inspired mainly by Ovid’s Metamorphoses. Until 17 January 2021.  nationalgallery.co.uk

• Electronic: From Kraftwerk to The Chemical Brothers

  Design Museum

  Tracing the history and cultural impact of the ever-evolving music genre, this exhibition promises to evoke the much-missed London club experience. From the underground to the mainstream, visitors will travel to dance floors from Detroit to Chicago, Paris, the UK and – of course – Berlin in a series of mesmerising installations and displays. Highlights include a 3D experience of pioneering German electronic band Kraftwerk, who famously popularised electronic music with hits like Das Model and Autobahn. Fans of the genre are in for a treat, with the likes of Detroit techno legend Jeff Mills, Ellen Allien, Jean- Michel Jarre and the seminal BBC Radiophonic Workshop all featuring. Until 14 February 2021. designmuseum.org
