A remarkable group of works from the Oskar Reinhart Collection ‘Am Römerholz’, Winterthur, will be on loan for the first time outside Switzerland.
Featuring major paintings by artists including Goya, Géricault and Courbet, the exhibition’s main focus will be on Reinhart’s extraordinary Impressionist and Post-Impressionist collection. Highlights include Manet’s groundbreaking painting Au Café, Toulouse-Lautrec’s Clown Cha-U-Kao, a group of exceptional works by Cezanne, and a pair of paintings by van Gogh of the hospital where he stayed in Arles.
Tickets on sale later this year. Friends go free.
Abstract Erotic: Louise Bourgeois, Eva Hesse, Alice Adams
20 June – 14 Sept 2025
This major exhibition will foreground these artists’ shared commitment to using humour and abstract form to ask important questions about sexuality and bodies. The influential critic and curator Lucy Lippard dubbed this kind of work ‘abstract erotic’, and in 1966, Bourgeois, Hesse, and Adams were the only women artists included in Lippard’s ground-breaking exhibition Eccentric Abstraction.
This ambitious group exhibition is the first of its kind at The Courtauld, with three-dimensional works suspended from the ceiling and abstract sculpture filling the gallery in bold and unconventional ways.
Tickets on sale in 2025. Friends go free.

Henri Michaux. The Mescaline Drawings
12 Feb - 4 June 2025
In 1955, as part of an experiment prompted by his publisher, the Franco-Belgian poet and visual artist, Henri Michaux (1899 -1984), tried the psychedelic drug mescaline to investigate the effect of this type of non-addictive drug on the creative act.
This display will present the unique Mescaline Drawings - works rarely seen in the UK - and will showcase Michaux’s extraordinary experience, one that pushed the limits of what the essence of drawing is.
