UCL Art Museum - Autumn art exhibitions and events at UCL

As the nights draw in this autumn, UCL brings you a new season of artist events and exhibitions as part of our Year of Sculpture 2019. Read on to find out more...

Don't miss your chance to see UCL Art Museum's exhibition by Edward Allington - now extended until December 2019. This celebration of works by the British sculptor and former Slade professor features another key strand in the artist's prolific career. Allington's preoccupation with kitsch comes to the fore with Snail from the Necropolis of Hope (pictured above), one of his exuberant ‘cornucopia’ sculptures. See it alongside more of the artist's sculptures, photographs, drawings, motorbike parts, toy dinosaurs, plastic grasshoppers and other ‘creepy-crawlies’. Edward Allington: In pursuit of sculpture is at UCL Art Museum until 13 December 2019. Entry is free. Find out more about the exhibition on the UCL Culture website.
