As we come to the close of this year, it’s time to look back at the art, exhibitions and ideas that have shaped 2023—in our galleries and beyond. From welcoming new artists and opening new gallery locations to celebrating milestone exhibitions and outstanding publications. We are deeply grateful to our artists, visitors and partners who help us bring our visions and initiatives to life. Thank you for joining us in 2023.
Welcoming New Artists
This year, we welcomed new artists and artist estates to our family. We also proudly unveiled our ‘Collective Impact’ model, working with artists in partnership with other galleries.
In Loving Memory
We sadly also had to wish farewell to artists and friends dearly loved by us all. Their artistic contribution and legacy will be remembered.
IDA APPLEBROOG (1929 – 2023)
PHYLLIDA BARLOW (1944 – 2023)
In Our Galleries
This year, we celebrated more than 50 exhibitions by our critically acclaimed artists across our locations worldwide. In Somerset, we welcomed over 74,000 visitors to the exhibition ‘GRUPPENAUSSTELLUNG,’ a new attendance record set for the art center which celebrates it’s 10th anniversary in 2024.
In the Museums
In addition to their exhibitions in our galleries, we celebrated over 600 museum exhibitions with our artists in 2023.
In the news
From Menorca to Guangzhou to New York, our artists, exhibitions and galleries were not only the subject of articles by some of the most critical thinkers and relevant voices around the world but also featured on 29 covers in 2023.
