Tate has announced its 2027 exhibition program across its four UK sites. Major shows include a Lynda Benglis exhibition and an Edvard Munch show at Tate Modern, a Sonia Boyce retrospective at Tate Britain, and two exhibitions celebrating David Hockney's 90th birthday. The program also features Tate Modern's first Monet exhibition, the UK's first solo show for Algerian artist Baya, a survey of Nalini Malani, and a major exhibition on Asian ink painting.
This program is significant for its scale and focus on historical and contemporary artists, marking several firsts for the institution. It highlights Tate's commitment to broadening the canon, showcasing influential but previously underrepresented figures like Baya and Benglis, while also celebrating major modern and contemporary artists like Hockney, Boyce, and Munch. The announcement also coincides with the departure of director Maria Balshaw, framing it as a legacy-defining future program.
