<\/p>\nShows dedicated to Lynda Benglis and Edvard Munch will open next year at Tate Modern, along with a Sonia Boyce retrospective at Tate Britain and two shows focused on the work and legacy of David Hockney marking his 90th birthday.<\/p>\n
Tate\u2019s statement announcing the 2027 programme, announced on the eve of director Maria Balshaw\u2019s departure, reveals the exhibitions and events to be held across Tate\u2019s four sites next year. \u201cThere are lots of firsts in [2027]: Tate Modern’s first Monet show, Tate’s first show of Asian ink painting, the UK’s first solo show for Algerian artist Baya, and the first time the Turner Prize travels to the West Country [to Tate St. Ives, 23 October-23 January 2028],\u201d says a Tate spokesperson.<\/p>\n
\u201cTate Modern will present more than 50 extraordinary works from the late 1960s to the present, showcasing the inventive aesthetic that has cemented Lynda Benglis\u2019s role as one of the most influential artists of our time,\u201d says a statement (30 September 2027-5 March 2028). Benglis, who posed naked with a large double-headed dildo in Artforum\u00a0in 1974, has been celebrated for her vibrant colour and process-oriented abstract art, which includes poured latex floor paintings, totemic wax paintings, tubular knots and biomorphic mounds or spheres in bronze, lead and glass.<\/p>\n

The Monet show at Tate Modern, Monet: Painting Time (25 February-27 June 2027) focuses on \u201cMonet\u2019s profound and evolving relationship with time\u201d through works such as Arrival of the Normandy Train, Gare Saint-Lazare\u00a0(1877).\u00a0The exhibition is organised by Tate Modern and Mus\u00e9e de l’Orangerie in Paris. The Munch show (11 November 2027-23 April 2028) explores his \u2018soul paintings\u2019 through the lens of cinema and visual storytelling, unpicking issues around identity and desire.<\/p>\n
In a bold move, Tate Modern also presents the UK\u2019s first ever solo exhibition of the work of Algerian artist Baya (Mahieddine) from 10 June 2027 to 17 October. According to writer Rawaa Talass<\/a>, Baya\u2019s body of work contributed to the field of Modernism in North Africa and won acclaim from European pioneers. Self-taught, Baya created a world of her own inspired by her childhood memories and surroundings, as well as her rich Algerian and indigenous Amazigh origins.<\/p>\n A survey of works from the past 60 years by the Mumbai-based artist Nalini Malani\u2014who made key pieces such as\u202fMother India: Transactions in the Construction of Pain\u00a0(2005) and\u202fIn Search of Vanished Blood (2012-20)\u2014also launches at Tate Modern (1 July-3 January 2028).\u00a0<\/p>\n Ink painting gets a platform also at Tate Modern in the show Ink\u00a0(22 April-30 August 2027) which includes around 80 works\u00a0organised around three themes: Life, the Garden, and Breath. \u201cThe show focuses on key artists in mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan who helped reinvent [ink painting] for the twentieth century,\u201d says Tate.<\/p>\n As Hockney hits 90,\u00a0Tate Modern will stage a multimedia installation in Tate Modern\u2019s Turbine Hall in the summer while Tate Britain will open a career-spanning exhibition in autumn 2027 featuring more than 200 works (7 October-20 February 2028). The latter show features \u201ctrailblazing 1960s explorations of queer love and desire to tender depictions of his parents and recent works exploring private moments in Hockney\u2019s home and studio\u201d, Tate says.<\/p>\n Sonia Boyce\u2019s work and legacy will be presented in a survey at Tate Britain drawing on her\u00a0large-scale installations, photography, collage, drawing, film and sculpture (24 March-27 August 2027). Boyce, who won<\/a> the Golden Lion at the 2022 Venice Biennale, will show works such as the Devotional\u00a0series, her archive created in dialogue with the public. \u201cIn the broadest sense, my research interests lie in art as a social practice and the critical and contextual debates that arise from this burgeoning field,\u201d Boyce writes.<\/p>\n Sonia Boyce, Untitled (Kiss) (1995)<\/p>\n \u00a9 2026 Sonia Boyce. All Rights Reserved DACS<\/p>\n Other shows planned for Tate Britain include a blockbuster presentation of more than 120 paintings and drawings by the society portraitist Thomas Gainsborough, marking the 300th\u00a0anniversary of his birth (20 May-10 October 2027). The Tudors\u00a0(18 November-23 April 2028) meanwhile shines a light on \u201cthe age that witnessed the birth of modern Britain, and in turn, that of British painting\u201d, featuring important works by Hans Holbein, Nicholas Hilliard, and Isaac Oliver, among others.<\/p>\n The long-awaited renovation of Tate Liverpool is also scheduled for completion next year, launching with a major exhibition of works by the British-Indian artist Chila Kumari Singh\u202fBurman. The gallery was initially due to reopen in 2025 following an overhaul which was previously forecast to cost \u00a329.7m (the project is now costed around \u00a335m).<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/7a543b0e3fd38a482d735ecd8f5d287c9b3e5d65-3543x3543.jpg\"\/)
