Galleries - July 2024

Leonora Carrington: Rebel Visionary 12 July - 26 October 2024 This summer an exhibition aims to shine a spotlight on the expansive – but not widely known - oeuvre of Leonora Carrington (1917- 2011) across the vast variety of media she worked in and her long career. Leonora Carrington: Rebel Visionary , from 12 July (until 26 October) at Newlands House Gallery in Petworth, Sussex will celebrate Carrington for the broad range of her work, focusing particularly on her later years. Although she is best known in the UK as a painter and as a writer - she recently became the highest selling female British artist when her painting Les Distractions de Dagobert (1945) sold for $28.5 million - she created art across a wide range of different disciplines, from paintings and lithographs through sketches and sculpture to tapestries and jewellery. This exhibition will bring together outstanding examples of these, with many works that have never been seen in the UK before
