Current exhibitions
James McNeill Whistler
Until 27 September 2026
A truly global figure, Whistler re-wrote the rules of what it meant to be an artist. He pioneered new and innovative techniques, creating astonishingly beautiful, ethereal visions of modern life that would earn him a place as one of the most influential artists of the 19th and 20th centuries. This retrospective – the first major European exhibition of Whistler’s work in 30 years – brings together the artist’s world-famous paintings alongside rarely, or never seen, works. It includes exquisite portraits, drawings, prints, and designs, from as early as his teens in St. Petersburg to the enigmatic late self-portraits.
Frida: The Making of an Icon
Until 3 January 2027
Discover the extraordinary story of how Frida Kahlo became one of the most influential artists of all time, a cultural phenomenon, and an internationally recognised commercial icon. “Frida: The Making of an Icon” will showcase over 30 of Kahlo’s most iconic works that introduce her ‘many selves’ – the dedicated wife, the intellectual, the modern artist, and the political activist.
Aleksandra Kasuba Shelters for the Senses
Until 4 October 2026
Tate St Ives presents the first UK museum exhibition of the work of Aleksandra Kasuba. Kasuba fled Lithuania after the Second World War, emigrating to the United States where she settled in New York, and then New Mexico. The exhibition spans seven decades of work, exploring Kasuba’s artistic journey, from her early paintings and mosaics to her later sculptures and architectural designs.
Julio Le Parc Light. Colour. Action.
Until 3 May 2027
Playful and mesmerising, this immersive exhibition celebrates the visionary work of Julio Le Parc. Featuring his striking interactive installations, shimmering light sculptures, and large-scale geometric paintings, the show spans an extraordinary career from the late 1950s to the 2020s. He was part of the vibrant artistic scene of 1960s Paris, a time of radical innovation and boundless creativity, but always maintained strong connections to Latin America.
