Picasso at Tate Britain
Friday 11th May 2012
Picasso was one of the most important influences on British artists such as Henry Moore and David Hockney, and yet there has never been a show dedicated to this subject until now. Siân Walters will be running a study day to coincide with this eagerly anticipated exhibition at Tate Britain, including a preliminary lecture by co-curator Helen Little.

Leonardo da Vinci: Anatomist. Drawings in The Royal Collection
Wednesday 20th June 2012
A stunning new exhibition of Leonardo da Vinci’s studies of the human body takes place at The Queen’s Gallery, Buckingham Palace this summer, and will be the largest ever show dedicated to this area of the artist’s work. Leonardo had wanted to publish a treatise on anatomy and had he done so his discoveries would have transformed European knowledge of the subject, but upon his death his studies remained unknown and unpublished in his studio.
