"And what a year it's gonna be for the city's gallery-botherers, with blockbuster exhibition after blockbuster exhibition on the way over the next twelve months. There's monumental sculpture, pointillist landscapes and flashy photography, massive names from Renoir to Hockney, and so many big shows by women that the Guerrilla Girls might have to get a new schtick. RECOMMENDED: The best theatre shows in London for 2026."
"Featuring more than 130 artworks, including some of Frida Kahlo's most iconic paintings, the Tate Modern's mammoth summer exhibition will explore how the Mexican painter became the kind of cultural phenomenon whose monobrowed likeness adorns everything from novelty socks to limited-edition eye shadow pallets. The first major London exhibition on the feminist icon since the V&A's one in 2018, it promises to be a fascinating exploration of the transformative role of women artists in the 20th century,"
London's galleries will present a series of blockbuster art exhibitions throughout 2026 and into early 2027. Major shows will include a Tate Modern summer survey of Frida Kahlo featuring more than 130 artworks and exploring her cultural iconography, and a National Gallery exhibition focused on Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Programming across the city will range from monumental sculpture and pointillist landscapes to glossy photography and major surveys of artists such as David Hockney. Numerous large shows by women artists are planned, while many smaller commercial galleries have yet to announce their 2026 schedules.
