Past exhibitions

This autumn, the Estorick Collection presents a special display of works by the multidisciplinary artist Marinella Senatore.

This autumn, the Estorick Collection presents a special intervention by celebrated artist Sean Scully, showcasing a body of his work alongside that of Italian master Giorgio Morandi.

Please note, only four galleries will be open during this time, whilst we prepare for our next exhibition Ketty La Rocca: You You.

The Estorick Collection presents the first ever institutional UK exhibition dedicated to pioneering contemporary Italian master Claudio Parmiggiani (b. Luzzara, 1943).

The Estorick Collection starts 2025 by exploring the revolutionary world of experimental poetry with two intersecting displays, Futurism and the Origins of Experimental Poetry and Dom Sylvester Houédard and Concrete Poetry in Post-war Britain.

Antonio Calderara (1903-1978) is renowned for his delicate and exquisitely balanced abstract imagery which, in its restraint and subtlety, exhibits affinities with the work of Giorgio Morandi.

Sergio Strizzi (1931–2004) is considered one of cinematic still photography’s greatest talents. He worked with Italy’s top film directors, including Antonioni and De Sica, as well as internationally-renowned figures such as John Huston and Peter Greenaway, and worked as a photographer on the sets of several James Bond films.

The Estorick Collection continues its ongoing series of ‘interventions’ by Italian contemporary artists in response to the permanent collection with the work of Sophie Ko (b. 1981).

Pasquarosa Marcelli (1896 - 1973), known simply as 'Pasquarosa', was one of the first Italian artists to have a solo exhibition in London, during the 1920s. A century later, her work returns to the capital in a new show featuring some 50 paintings and drawings on loan from Rome’s Archivio Nino e Pasquarosa Bertoletti and other private collections.

The first museum show in the UK of ground-breaking photographer Lisetta Carmi (1924 – 2022), whose imagery is currently receiving renewed attention.
