About
This exhibition takes place at Charleston in Lewes.
Step into the world of Vanessa Bell, a groundbreaking artist and key figure in 20th-century British art, whose creativity spanned multiple disciplines. This landmark exhibition— the biggest ever dedicated to Bell — brings her practice into focus, affirming her as a radical pioneer of modernism in her own right.
With over 100 pieces on display, explore the full breadth of Bell's artistic legacy: from her vibrant paintings to her revolutionary textiles, furniture designs, ceramics, and book covers.
Rediscover Vanessa Bell - a true trailblazer of modern art - through this stunning showcase of her life's work.
An exhibition organised by Charleston in partnership with MK Gallery.
Open alongside is the first UK institutional exhibition of contemporary artist Koak, presenting new works inspired by and responding to Vanessa Bell.
