The exhibition will also appeal to lovers of contemporary art, thanks to the dialogue between different works of art and Turner’s paintings.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

This summer, the Grimaldi Forum Monaco is hosting an exceptional exhibition dedicated to William Turner, one of the greatest British painters and a member of the Sublime artistic movement. ‘Turner, the sublime legacy’, in partnership with the Tate, will be held from July 6 to September 1, 2024. Featuring over 80 works, including 38 oils on canvas, this retrospective explores Turner\u2019s unique vision of the sublime and his quest to \u201ccapture the beauty but also the horror of nature,\u201d<\/i> exhibition curator Elizabeth Brooke explains.<\/p>\n\n

The Executive Director of the Grimaldi Forum, Sylvie Biancheri, stresses the importance of the event:\u00a0 “This is a collection that you won’t often see.”\u00a0<\/em> Elizabeth Brooke adds, \u201cThis is a unique, once-in-a-generation opportunity.”<\/em> \u00a0The collaboration, which began three years ago, is a first: never before has the Tate lent so many works by Turner for an exhibition outside its four galleries.<\/p>\n\n

A dialogue with the present<\/h2>\n\n

There is a constant dialogue between Turner\u2019s works and those of contemporary artists. Each room evokes a period in Turner\u2019s life, and therefore in his work, with which contemporary works of art are in resonance.<\/p>\n

The bold choice explores Turner\u2019s enduring influence on art even after his passing. Artists such as John Akomfrah, Olafur Eliasson, Richard Long, and Mark Rothko are on display alongside Turner, offering a contemporary perspective on the notion of the sublime and the relationship between man and nature.<\/p>\n

The Grimaldi Forum: an ideal venue<\/h2>\n\n

For Elizabeth Brooke, the Grimaldi Forum was the ideal venue to display this collection of works: “Not every institution is able to mount an exhibition like this. The vast spaces at the Grimaldi really allowed us to make it happen.\u00a0<\/i>(\u2026) The volumes are perfect for presenting both Turner\u2019s works and contemporary pieces.”<\/i><\/p>\n\n

Four magnificent exhibitions to see during Monaco Art Week<\/a><\/p>\n\n

With a surface area of more than 2,000 m\u00b2, the exhibition features an original scenography highlighting Turner\u2019s sublime landscapes, from his early watercolours and paintings of British landscapes in the 1790s to his dazzling canvasses of the 1840s. The later works are sometimes reminiscent of the impressionist movement and Monet, who was exhibited last year at the Grimaldi Forum<\/a>.<\/p><\/p>\n\n

Why visit this exhibition?<\/h2>\n\n

It is aimed at lovers of modern and contemporary art, as well as those interested in more historical and classical paintings. Turner’s works are displayed in direct counterpoint with contemporary works in the same rooms, appealing to all audiences and providing an insight into two different, mutually responsive periods.<\/p>\n

When asked, Elizabeth Brooke explains that Turner is not only \u00a0“a pioneer of modernism”<\/i>\u00a0 but also one of the best-known British painters:\u00a0 “Audiences may be attracted by the contemporary artists and discover Turner,” <\/i>and vice versa.<\/p>\n\n

The exhibition offers an educational and sensory journey, beginning with an introduction to the concepts of the sublime and romanticism, then moving on through the different periods in Turner\u2019s career.<\/p>\n\n

As the icing on the cake, the Grimaldi Forum is staging youth workshops from 8 to 19 July to awaken youngsters to the representation of landscapes through fun tours and visual arts workshops.<\/p>\n\n
