Loan Exhibition: 25 May–5 July 2024 • London

F or centuries, the UK’s creative energy, cultural diversity, rich heritage and culture of patronage have acted as compelling magnets for visitors and creatives alike. The nation has long been a cultural melting-pot for artists from around the world who, in their own unique ways, have revealed with each touch of brush, the impact of the dynamic environment in which they found themselves.

In celebration of London’s role in the artistic journeys of so many, London: An Artistic Crossroads, Sotheby’s and Art UK brings together a dozen masterpieces from regional museums by international artists connected to and influenced by the city, highlighting the treasures held across the country while unveiling new narratives. Inspired by the National Gallery’s Bicentenary celebrations in which they have loaned 12 works to remarkable masterpieces from its own collection to institutions throughout the country, this exhibition does the reverse: collecting 12 extraordinary works of art from major regional collections, bringing them together, in one room, in the capital city, as an homage to London and to all those who have come from elsewhere to be inspired, create and flourish.
