Richard Serra: Drawings for the Courtauld
With the collection of drawings being created especially for the installation at the Courtauld Gallery, the works stand with a dark, overwhelming menace. Created using black litho crayon and transparent plastic sheets, the work pushes the boundaries of drawing in new and exciting directions. This exhibition presents an opportunity to see radical and unusual artworks from an artist who's work has risen in prominance throughout the past forty years.

Yukata Sone: Sculpture
The show brings together the artist’s three sculptures of island cities—Hong Kong Island (Chinese) (1998), Little Manhattan (2007–2009), and the recently completed Venezia (2013)—each metropolis intricately miniaturized into a single block of marble. Exhibited together for the first time, they span over twenty years of Sone’s practice, and occupy a momentous part of his oeuvre.

Friedrich Kunath: I'm running out of this world.
'Kunath balances the temper of his art on a knife’s edge between postmodernism and nihilism, and then pushes it further, into a pictorial consciousness that seems part Fun House, part Las Vegas Rococo and part enquiry into the psycho-dynamics of visual language.’ Michael Bracewell
With dark strains of surrealism, the work operates in the area between consciousness and dreamscape where fantasy and reality abruptly collide.
