London Gallery Weekend: the highlights of London’s biggest art weekend Galleries across London join forces for one of the biggest art events of its kind in the world
London Gallery Weekend is here, a free, jam-packed three-day event where London's galleries open their doors for extended hours, put on a range of exciting shows, host special events and talks, and run family workshops.
The event grew out of pandemic, during a time when London's commercial galleries worked together in an unprecedented way. Now the weekend, which launches today, has become a staple of London's art calendar.
Alchemy
Alchemy brings together works from major European and American artists including Joseph Beuys, Anselm Kiefer, Sigmar Polke, Robert Rauschenberg, Sturtevant, Emilio Vedova and Andy Warhol. The works all relate to the exhibition's theme of alchemy - the idea of transforming materials and how this process has become an important component of artmaking.
The gallery is also presenting the first solo exhibition of photographer Bob Colacello, who worked alongside Andy Warhol for a decade as editor of the artist's Interview magazine. Titled It Just Happened, the show, which has been curated by Spanish publisher and art curator Elena Foster and her Ivorypress team, is a collection of Colacello's photos from the Seventies and Eighties.
