![]() ![]() Philip Guston at Tate Modern is a retrospective of the US painter (1913-1980) which has been postponed several times, both here and in the US, in the wake of the murder George Floyd. A Guston motif, the Klu Klux Klansman was felt to be too sensitive to show. It is clear that Guston, as a Jewish leftist, despised everything the KKK represented and the show has opened to fantastic reviews. Guston straddles the 20th century with his painterly, sometimes abstract style. I am looking forward to seeing this. Tate Modern until 25Feb ![]() ![]() ![]() |

![]() ![]() The repeatedly-postponed Marina Abramovic retrospective at the Royal Academy has finally opened and it is performance art at its most effective. Although not actually performing herself (there are several actors, some naked) all of her iconic works are represented. Such as ‘Rhythm 0’ from 1974 where Abramovic stood still for 8 hours and invited the public to do what they wanted. She found herself stripped, stabbed and generally abused. The piece aimed to expose the ugliness found when you put people in a position of power. Not pretty. Please note, this exhibition isn’t for everyone – not one to take the kids to at half term! Royal Academy until 1Jan23. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

It is a showcase of female artists who’s work is known for their intense colourist response to the world around them. The exhibition is up for the month of June and anyone can go into Cannizaro House in Wimbledon to have a look. I look forward to seeing those of you coming to the Private View tonight. (If anyone else would like to join last minute, let me know katharine@katharinerowe.com) ![]() There are plenty of other arty distractions opening in London this month too, a few suggestions below. ![]() ![]() |

![]() My darling Dad sadly died in early April so I have been involved in family business rather than art business over the past month. I painted this portrait of him for his 80th birthday last Summer. He is sitting at the kitchen table, looking out to the garden with the crossword and setting the world to rights. This is how I shall remember him. |

![]() As promised in January, this month I am recommending unusual arty museums outside London to put on your wish list for 2023. Happy travel planning! ![]() ![]() The Derwent Pencil Museum is in Keswick, where the world’s first lead pencil was made in 1564 after the discovery of a graphite mine in the Borrowdale Valley. Pencil making has been a thriving industry in Keswick since the 1800s and as well as history, this museum offers workshops and a great arty shop. I think this sounds like heaven, if you’re visiting the Lake District this year put it on your list. Ideal for the rainy day of your holiday…Derwent Pencil Museum, CA12 5NG |

October Arts Newsletter View this email in your browser ![]() Thank you to those who came to the Artists’ Open House trail a couple of weekends ago. The event was a success and we had lots of artists exhibiting including some who hadn’t shown in public before but loved the experience. Katie and I at Common Works were very pleased with the outcome and are starting to think about our next arts event project. If anyone has any relevant projects they would like to discuss, please let us know. It’s Autumn exhibition blockbuster time, a few recommendations below. |
