 PHOTOGRAPHY & PRINT THE FAIR

With many art galleries still unable to open to the public, curators are finding new ways to bring art to the public with a series of virtual exhibitions. 

Virtual art exhibitions

Below we have selected our favourite virtual art exhibitions you can explore this month from the comfort of your home.These exhibitions provide a chance to view new and iconic work from historical, mid-career and emerging artists alike.

Andy Warhol, Tate Modern

Curators Gregor Muir and Fiontán Moran present an extensive selection of Andy Warhol's work across 12 rooms, from his iconic pop images to portraits from his "Ladies and Gentlemen" series. 

Here Warhol's work is observed through the lens of his immigrant story, LGBTQ+ identity, and concerns with death and religion.
The video exhibition itself is only seven minutes long, however you can pause for contemplation and read the accompanying information from the same page on the Tate Modern website.

Tom Wudl: The Flowerbank World, L.A. Louver

This exhibition is no longer on display, but you can enjoy a virtual walkthrough of "Tom Wudl: The Flowerbank World" courtesy L.A. Louver's digital team.

This exhibition features nearly two dozen works. As a Buddhist, much of the artist's work is inspired by the text, "Avatamsaka Sutra (The Flower Ornament Scripture)", which has resulted in an ongoing series of highly detailed paintings and prints, as seen in this virtual walkthrough.

A selection of works from other "spiritually motivated" artists also feature in this exhibition, including works by Wassily Kandinsky, Agnes Marti, John Mawurndjul and others.

During lockdown American artist Mark Bradford, who is known for his large-scale abstract paintings, has been hard at work creating a new series of paintings. Those paintings, which explore the nature of creativity in isolation, are now hanging in Hauser & Wirth's gallery space but, with COVID-19 restrictions in place, the work is viewable by digital means only.

Tracey Emin / Edvard Munch: The Loneliness of the Soul, Royal Academy of Arts

”This is an opportunity to see Emin’s work in a highly personal show. The selection reveals not only how Munch has been a constant inspiration – particularly through his profound portrayals of women – but also showcases Emin’s wide-ranging skills as an artist, which often interweave painting, drawing and writing.

Seen together, the dark territories and raw emotions that both artists navigate will emerge as a moving exploration of grief, loss and longing.”

15 November 2020 — 28 February 2021.
