Art exhibitions in London this weekend

From Nan Goldin's celebration of friends loved and lost, to a cerebral exhibition from Anselm Kiefer, here are this weekend's must-see exhibitions

Nan Goldin, Greer Modelling Jewellery, NY, 1985

Nan Goldin: Sirens, Marian Goodman Gallery review ★★★★★

Nan Goldin’s first major solo show in London since 2002 has opened at Marian Goodman Gallery. Full of new and archival material, the exhibition is a moving and timely testament to Goldin’s friends, to lives lived and lost.

Anselm Kiefer: Superstrings, Runes, The Norns, Gordian Knot, White Cube

Anselm Kiefer returns to White Cube for an exhibition of his epic paintings. This show brings together the German artist's interest in mythology, astronomy and history.

George IV: Art and Spectacle, Queen's Gallery

George IV was an unpopular king. He was smart, learned and charming but his subjects took exception to the huge amounts of money he spent on his unbelievably lavish lifestyle.This exhibition, with its fascinating array of items, promises to show us the much-mocked king's more refined side.
