We are delighted to invite you to a unique guided tour of the iconic ‘Summer Exhibition’. Held every year without interruption since 1769, it showcases a diverse array of contemporary works, including prints, paintings, films, photography, sculpture, and architectural works. Spend the day exploring over 1,700 fabulous pieces by famous artists and members of the public, which have been selected by architect Farshid Moussavi RA and her Summer Exhibition committee.
The BFAMI visit will be followed by a guided tour of highly anticipated exhibition, ‘Kiefer/Van Gogh’. Vincent van Gogh has had an enduring influence on Anselm Kiefer throughout his nearly 60-year career. The pioneer of Post-Impressionism has informed the subjects and techniques of Kiefer’s monumental paintings and sculptures which draw on history, mythology, literature, philosophy and science. See work by both artists side by side this summer.
