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.
TRACEY EMIN: A SECOND LIFE
Until 31 August 2026
This exhibition traces 40 years of Emin’s groundbreaking practice, showcasing career-defining sensations alongside works never exhibited before. Through painting, video, textiles, neons, writing, sculpture, and installation, Emin continues to challenge boundaries, using the female body as a powerful tool to explore passion, pain, and healing. Dame Tracey Emin is one of the most important contemporary artists of her generation. Emin’s disregard for any separation of the personal and the public, along with her commitment to unapologetic self-expression, came to define a historic moment in British culture and global art history.
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.
HURVIN ANDERSON
Until 23 August 2026
Hurvin Anderson’s first major solo show brings together more than 80 of his vibrant paintings, spanning the artist’s entire career, from his days as a student to new, never-before-seen paintings. Through colour-drenched landscapes and interiors, Anderson meanders back and forth across the Atlantic, between the UK and the Caribbean. The youngest of eight children, he was the first to be born in the UK after his family left Jamaica for Birmingham in the 1960s.
