Sculptures of Christo held in a charmingly derelict Georgian house in Shoreditch, Jonathan Anderson's carefully curated private collection in a Georgian house in Mayfair… these are a few of the private exhibitions you should see this month.
This gem of an exhibition takes you on an intimate and poetic journey into the early works of Christo through the floors of a charmingly derelict Huguenot house.
The artist is known for the monumental installations in the natural setup he conceptualised with his wife, Jeanne Claude, but here, another side of his creative path is brought to life.
Against the background of empty wood-panelled rooms and faded painting walls, Christo’s early sculptures reflect statelessness and perpetual relocation. They also tell of hard work and redemption through art.
Not to be missed.

Fashion designer Jonathan Anderson, JW Anderson’s founder and Loewe's creative director, has always emphasised the close relationship between fashion and the art world.
On Foot, curated by Anderson himself, is a delightful show.
The fashion designer has transformed the rooms and corridors of the Georgian townhouse in which Offer Waterman is located into an imaginary walk-through of London that takes the visitor on a dreamy stroll.
He also presents modern British artworks from his collection – including works from Barbara Hepworth, Lucian Freud and David Hockney – ‘in dialogue’ with artworks from a new generation of international contemporary artists, from Lynette Yiadom-Boakye to Florian Krewer.
Fashion pieces from JW Anderson's latest show are also presented as a version of Anderson’s ‘pigeon clutch', designed in collaboration with British artist Anthea Hamilton.
Not to be missed.
This exhibition will display works by Paula Rego from the 1980s, a period of liberation and self-discovery for the artist who saw her first major exhibitions in the UK and the US.
For Rego, the 1980s was a decade of creative transformation. Moving away from the process of making collages, she began to engage with her childhood passion for painting as play.
