Running without interruption since 1769, the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition is one of the world’s largest open submission art shows and brings together art in all mediums – print and painting, film, photography, sculpture, architecture and more – by leading artists, Royal Academicians and household names as well as new and emerging talents.
This year, over 1,500 works are on display on the 251st Summer Exhibition which will run from 10 June to 12 August 2019. Most works are showing for the first time. Highlights include an animal-themed ‘menagerie’ in the Central Hall. Sisters Jane and Louise Wilson RA have curated two galleries, one of which showcases work exploring light and time.
Outside the galleries, international artist Thomas Houseago has taken over the RA’s courtyard with a group of large-scale sculptural works, and the exhibition spills out into nearby Bond Street with a colourful installation of flags featuring work by Michael Craig-Martin RA.
Most pieces of art are for sale, with proceeds helping to fund the Academy’s non-profit activities, including educating the next generation of artists in the RA Schools. (Tianxing Bai)
