Introducing @londonartfile : Every week we collaborate with one of our favourite Instagrammers, allowing us a glance into their Culture Whisper Planner
Abstract Expressionism review, Royal Academy ★★★★★
Kate says:
"Without a doubt my favourite show of 2016. It is simply the best from the best of the Abstract Expressionists, Pollock, Rothko, Newman, Motherwell. But Clyfford Still's paintings, rarely loaned, are the highlight of the show. Closing soon, catch it before it’s gone."

Kate says:
"A beautiful exhibition of English medieval embroidery. Gathered from collections around the world, the works on show are intricate, charming and now immensely fragile, making it an unrivalled opportunity to see these medieval masterpieces in one place."

Kate says:
"Hodgkin evokes human presence in his work through colour and emotion. Looking forward to an unconventional take on portraiture from one the UK’s greatest living artists."
Read more ...Wifredo Lam, Tate Modern review ★★★★★
Kate says:
"Cuban modernist artist Wifredo Lam (1902-82) was a friend of Picasso, collaborated with André Breton, exhibited with the CoBrA artists and fought in the Spanish Civil War. His art bears witness to all that and more in this Tate retrospective."

Kate says:
"Dramatic works from a giant of contemporary art. Kiefer brings powerful impasto paintings, haunting vitrines and darkly sinister installations to Bermondsey’s White Cube."
