Three Major London Exhibitions: Paolozzi at Whitechapel, Rauschenberg at Tate Modern, Hockney at Tate Britain
London hosted three significant solo exhibitions in early 2017. Eduardo Paolozzi's work was displayed at the Whitechapel Gallery from February 16 to May 15. Concurrently, Robert Rauschenberg's exhibition ran at Tate Modern from November 30, 2016, through April 2, 2017. David Hockney's major show was presented at Tate Britain from February 9 to May 29. These exhibitions featured three influential artists from different generations and movements. Paolozzi, a Scottish sculptor and pioneer of British Pop Art, was celebrated in a comprehensive presentation. Rauschenberg, the American artist who bridged Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art, received a major retrospective. Hockney, the celebrated British painter, presented works spanning his career. All three institutions are prominent London art venues. The exhibitions overlapped temporally, creating a concentrated period of major artistic displays in the city. The information was documented in the June 2017 issue of artpress magazine, specifically on pages 20-21 of issue number 445.
