TATE MODERN
Monet: Painting Time will be Tate Modern’s first exhibition devoted to Claude Monet, bringing together many breath-taking paintings and rarely seen works. Drawing on new research, the show will centre on the artist’s relationship with time at the dawn of the industrial age. Visitors will see how Monet captured fleeting, instantaneous moments and the passing of years and seasons, as epitomised by his iconic Water Lillies cycle.
Ink will be Tate’s first ever exhibition dedicated to the enduring and profoundly philosophical practice of ink painting. The show will focus on the 20th century artists in mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan who reinvented this beautiful, intricate artform as a modern form of painting. It will also highlight key ideas within the ink tradition, including its historical continuity and relationship to the natural world.
David Hockney will present a multimedia installation in the Turbine Hall to coincide with his 90th birthday. A passionate fan of the opera, Hockney has created many celebrated designs for sets and costumes since the 1970s. These will be brought to life and projected onto vast screens in Tate Modern's most iconic space, offering visitors a thrilling experience of music and art in motion.
Baya was a groundbreaking Algerian artist whose geometric patterns and bold colours were rooted in the natural surroundings of her homeland. Her work influenced generations of artists and thinkers, including figures such as Pablo Picasso and André Breton. Tate Modern will present the UK’s first ever solo exhibition of Baya’s work, featuring more than 100 of her vivid gouache watercolours.
Nalini Malani’s incredible six-decade career will be celebrated with her largest exhibition to date. Known in India since the 1960s for her pioneering multidisciplinary approach, Malani has gained global recognition for
her monumental multimedia installations. Evoking both beauty and discomfort, her work rewrites Western and Eastern history, myths and literature, inviting viewers to question the world around them.
Lynda Benglis is renowned for challenging conventions and reinventing materials. This approach can be seen in her celebrated ‘pours’, for which she mixed materials such as latex and Day-Glo pigment and poured them onto the floor to dramatic effect. Tate Modern will present more than 50 extraordinary works, showcasing the inventive aesthetic that has cemented Benglis’s role as one of the most influential artists of our time.
Edvard Munch described his paintings as ‘impressions from the life of the soul’, creating powerful, cinematic images which expressed feelings we all recognise – love, loss and loneliness. Tate Modern’s compelling new exhibition will look at Munch’s paintings through the lens of cinema and visual storytelling. With unique input from filmmakers, it will shine a new light on his radical tales of identity and desire.
Each season will also be marked by one of Tate Modern’s three annual commissions: the cutting-edge Infinities Commission in the Tanks, the participatory summer commission for UNIQLO Tate Play, and the world-renowned Hyundai Commission in the Turbine Hall in the autumn. Tate Modern’s free collection displays will also continue to be refreshed through the year, including an ARTIST ROOMS exhibition of Robert Rauschenberg’s trailblazing art, and a group show focusing on Lebanon in the pivotal year of 1990.
TATE BRITAIN
Sonia Boyce’s 40-year career will be presented in a major exhibition of large-scale installations, photography, collage, drawing, film and sculpture. This multi-sensory show will celebrate a practice shaped by her fierce experimentation and a refusal to conform. It will trace Boyce’s collaborative and improvisational techniques, navigating questions of collective memory and the boundaries between private and public experiences.
Gainsborough will be the subject of a landmark exhibition marking the 300th anniversary of the artist’s birth. The show will bring together 120 works in a once-in-a-generation tribute to this quintessentially Georgian artist. Reflecting the rich variety of his practice, it will explore the contrast between the glamourous society portraits that made his name and the creative chaos in which he worked behind the scenes.
David Hockney’s 90th birthday will be celebrated with a large-scale exhibition at Tate Britain. The show will focus on the role that family, friends and lovers have played in Hockney’s visual storytelling, and how intimacy and human connection inform his art. Featuring over 200 works, it will span the full breadth of his seven-decade career, from trailblazing 1960s explorations of queer love and desire to tender depictions of his parents and recent works exploring private moments in his home and studio.
The Tudors reigned over a period that saw the birth of modern Britain, and in turn, that of British painting. Tate’s first major presentation of Tudor art in 30 years, this exhibition will bring a fresh perspective to this profoundly transformative period. Over 150 exceptional oil paintings, miniatures, works on paper, sculptures and decorative art objects will be brought together, including iconic portraits of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I.
Throughout the year, Tate Britain’s Art Now programme of free exhibitions will continue to showcase emerging artistic talent, and the Duveen Galleries at the heart of the building will present a large-scale free display of contemporary sculptures and installations from Tate’s collection.
