Opening to the public on 1st October is an exhibition of work by our iconic member Lucian Freud at The National Gallery. The Credit Suisse Exhibition presents Lucian Freud: New Perspectives which is the first major exhibition of Freud’s work in the last 10 years, tying together almost seven decades of paintings.

The Courtauld - Fuseli and the Modern Woman: Fashion, Fantasy, Fetishism.
Bridgeman Images’ partner, The Courtauld presents Fuseli and the Modern Woman: Fashion, Fantasy, Fetishism. Henry Fuseli is one of the most flamboyant artists of the 18th century who often depicted fantastical scenes from classic and contemporary stories and literature. The current exhibition explores Fuseli's lifetime interest in the female form and the secret lives of women. He sought to capture the mysterious life of modern women, from their sexuality to their physical beauty, dresses and hairstyles. This exhibition explores the 18th-19th century anxiety surrounding gender, sexuality and self-expression during the most transformative time in European history. The exhibition will run from 14 October - 8 January 2023.
