This summer’s major London exhibition will undoubtedly be the James McNeill Whistler retrospective at Tate Britain.
It is comprehensive and sprawling, requires a solid half-day commitment at least and is of particular interest to Asian visitors to the British capital.
It is a fitting exhibit for the Tate.
Though American-born, Whistler was closely associated with Chelsea, just downriver from the Tate at Millbank.
The retrospective, on until September 2026, tackles every period of Whistler’s life and career, from his time at West Point, in New York, and St Petersburg to his years in Paris, London and Venice.
