Many of our featured artists are enjoying significant institutional exhibitions opening at this time, including Paula Rego, whose exhibition Dance Among Thorns, on view at the Munch Museum, Oslo from late April, is the first large-scale exhibition of Rego’s work in the Nordic region. We are showing The Death of the Blind Sister, a significant work from 2007 which offers a taste of our current exhibition Story Line, the most comprehensive survey of the artist’s works on paper ever staged, on view at the gallery in London until 23 May.

The survey exhibition Alice Neel: Beautifully Imperfect opens at Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art, Porto, this July. Major historical works in our presentation include Neel’s 1969 painting Linus and Ava Helen Pauling, depicting the great scientist and activist Linus Pauling, who won the Nobel Prize twice (in 1954 for chemistry and in 1962 for peace activism) and his wife, Ava Helen Pauling, a celebrated human rights activist.

Also from that decade is Milton Avery’s Badminton, 1962, a late work characterised by Avery’s masterful economy of touch. These important paintings foreground a theme of the presentation – the enduring subject of couples and pairings and their resonance across media and through time.This is further illustrated in new and recent paintings by Celia Paul, including La Chevelure, 2026, and Tristan Und Isolde, 2025 – which New York audiences may have observed when it was featured as a banner by the Metropolitan Opera for its recent production; works from Chris Ofili’s Poolside Magic series; Chantal Joffe’s paintings Richard and Harun, 2024, and Calais at Dusk, 2025; a recent painting by Kudzanai-Violet Hwami; photographic work by Stan Douglas; and sculpture by Elmgreen & Dragset.

A small presentation of works by Barbara Walker, who joined the gallery last year, features the artist’s acclaimed, ongoing series Vanishing Point, which explores the visibility of Black subjects in the Western canon through processes of drawing and embossing that invite contemplation on how history is made and unmade.
-
‘By focusing attention on the Black characters, Walker also activates the void surrounding them. The backdrop is a testament to the distribution of power: the blanked-out area is larger than the visible elements, more reserved for the ruling classes than those outside.’
– Lauren Dei, Frieze
