From the Tates to the Royal Academy and the galleries of Mayfair and the Barbican, London is bursting with exciting art exhibitions at any time of year. Now that cultural institutions are gradually re-opening with safety measures in place, here are the shows not to be missed.

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.

The worlds of haute couture and fine watchmaking collide in this exhibit of Maison Vaucheron Constantin’s private collection.

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 next month. Influenced by the likes of Sorolla, Manet, and further impressionist artists, Risch’s vivid 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

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
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
