The largest-ever exhibition dedicated to Bloomsbury Group artist, Vanessa Bell.
Step into the world of Vanessa Bell, a pioneering artist and central figure in 20th-century British art, whose creativity spanned across multiple disciplines. With over 100 works on display, this landmark exhibition – the largest ever dedicated to Bell – brings her practice into sharp focus, establishing her as a radical force in modernism in her own right.
Organised by Charleston in partnership with MK Gallery, the exhibition is complemented by the first UK institutional solo exhibition of contemporary artist Koak, who presents new works inspired by and responding to Bell’s legacy.
