The best gallery exhibitions on now in London: your week in art
In the art world, the first week of July is Classic Week. During this week, London's celebrated auction houses, Christie's and Sotheby's, hold their major Old Master Sales, while Masterpiece London, the must-attend event of the summer art fair season, and London Art Week are the talk of the town amongst the city's eminent dealers.
London Art Week celebrates an array of exceptional art spanning seven millennia. Hosted across more than forty of the capital's most notable galleries, as well as three leading auction houses, London Art Week offers an eye-opening opportunity to explore, enjoy and discover world-class art and exhibitions in the heart of London.
With so much on offer; here's our pick of the best galleries to visit this week. Our very own tailor made Gallery Hop!
Widely associated with a re-emergence of the figurative in contemporary painting, American artist Lisa Yuskavage has developed her own genre of portraiture in which erotic, angelic but at times grotesque figures are backdropped by fantastical landscapes or domestic spaces.
It is the artist’s first exhibition since the major survey of her work at The Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University, so expect the unexpected.
