"When it comes to major exhibitions, women are noticeably in the spotlight next year thanks to a bumper crop of top-billed showcases and retrospectives at some of the country's most respected galleries. The Tate Modern has a particularly stellar line up including a major showcase of Tracey Emin's 40-year career, an exploration into the life and work of Frida Kahlo and an exhibition examining the influence of Ana Mendieta."
"Bugs resting on the brim of a simple straw sunhat, acrobats flipping across a Pepto Bismol-hued silk shirt, a headpiece shaped like an upturned court shoe, the heel a cone in shocking pink. These are just some of the surreal creations by Elsa Schiaparelli that will be on display in what is the UK's first exhibition focused on the Italian designer."
"will be on display in what is the UK's first exhibition focused on the Italian designer. The collection charts 100 years of Schiaparelli's influence and innovation (the fashion house is still true to its roots under Daniel Roseberry, current creative director), including her collaboration with artists including Man Ray and Salvador Dali. This show promises much more than just clothes but a clever, beautiful and strange visual language."
Major UK galleries will present a series of high-profile exhibitions and retrospectives by women artists and designers across 2026–2027. Tate Modern programming includes a major Tracey Emin career survey, an exhibition on Frida Kahlo and an exploration of Ana Mendieta's influence, plus a nostalgia-driven show of photographs, paintings and fashion that defined a decade. The Royal Academy will mount a survey of Rose Wylie's playful paintings. The V&A stages the UK's first Elsa Schiaparelli exhibition from 28 March 2026, tracing a century of surreal fashion, artistic collaborations and the house's ongoing influence under Daniel Roseberry.
