‘A new lease of life’: London’s Annely Juda Fine Art looks to the future with Mayfair move

London’s Annely Juda Fine Art is relocating from its Dering Street premises in Mayfair after 35 years to a new gallery on nearby Hanover Square, set to open at the end of October. The move marks a new phase for the nearly 60-year-old gallery, with co-director Nina Fellmann taking on greater responsibilities as founder David Juda, who turns 80 next year, steps back. The new space occupies three floors of a Grade II-listed Georgian townhouse, including a former ballroom with a glass-domed ceiling, and will feature a smaller gallery for emerging artists. David Hockney will inaugurate the venue with his Moon series (2020-23), while the final exhibition at the old space is a site-specific installation by Tadashi Kawamata titled Demolition.

The Lee Miller Archives, established after the American photographer's vast collection was discovered in the attic of her Sussex home following her death in 1977, is raising funds through an exhibition at Lyndsey Ingram gallery in London to conserve up to 60,000 negatives and prints, some nearly 100 years old and in perilous condition.

Belfast’s murals are an open-air gallery of history and art

Belfast's murals, long used as tools of political expression and territorial marking during the Troubles, are gradually changing. Research shows that three-quarters of the most intimidatory murals in the loyalist Shankill area have disappeared since 1998. Newer murals commemorate figures like Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles III, while non-sectarian artistic murals—including tributes to murdered journalist Lyra McKee—are appearing across the city. However, some paramilitary-linked murals persist, and a 2024 incident saw a wall in north Belfast rebuilt and its threatening imagery repainted, reflecting ongoing tensions and the complex politics of 'conflict transformation' funding.
