This project forms part of the Japan-Britain Year of Culture organised by the British Council leading up to the Tokyo Olympics, and has only been made possible due to our Courtauld Connects project transformation. These exciting loans will give The Courtauld fantastic exposure and share the collection with an even wider international audience. Back in the UK we have a range of opportunities to stay connected with The Courtauld and the breadth of our current work and that of our alumni, including some very interesting projects currently being worked on by Courtauld faculty and curators.

  • Press Release CORPUS: the Body Unbound Courtauld Gallery 16 June
    Press Release CORPUS: The Body Unbound Courtauld Gallery 16 June – 16 July 2017 Wolfgang Tillmans, Dan, 2008. C-Type print, 40 x 30 cm ​ ​ ​ Arts Council Collection, Southbank Centre, London © Wolfgang Tillmans, courtesy Maureen Paley, London ● An exhibition curated by MA Curating the Art Museum students at The Courtauld Institute of Art ​ ​ ● Featuring major artworks from The Courtauld Collection and the Arts Council Collection ● CORPUS: The Body Unbound explores how artists past and present have engaged with the ​ body to interrogate, analyse and reimagine fundamental aspects of the human condition ● Curated in response to The Courtauld Gallery’s Special Display Bloomsbury: Art & Design ​ CORPUS: The Body Unbound explores how artists past and present have engaged with the ​ body - the corpus - to interrogate, analyse and reimagine fundamental aspects of the human condition. For artists, the human figure has been a site of optimism, a source of anxiety, as well as a symbol of limitations imposed by the self and society. Curated by the students of the Courtauld’s MA Curating the Art Museum, CORPUS: The Body Unbound responds to The ​ ​ Courtauld Gallery’s Special Display Bloomsbury Art & Design, on view in the adjacent gallery. ​ ​ Spanning more than 600 years of artistic practice, this exhibition brings together works from The Courtauld Gallery and the Arts Council Collection, creating unexpected confrontations and dialogues across time, space and media. Works by artists including Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640), Henry Moore (1898-1986) and Wolfgang Tillmans (b.1968) explore the strength and fragility of the body and the potential optimism of the human spirit in times of conflict.

  • Refurbished V&A Raphael Court Unveiled Ahead of Museum
    News Release 6 May 2021 Refurbished V&A Raphael Court unveiled ahead of museum reopening to the public vam.ac.uk/raphael-cartoons | #RaphaelCartoons Today the V&A unveils a first look at the newly refurbished Raphael Court – home to the Raphael Cartoons – following a landmark renovation in 2020 to mark the 500th anniversary of Raphael’s death. Together with a new interpretive approach, the refreshed gallery will transform the way museum visitors experience the Cartoons, lent to the V&A from the Royal Collection by Her Majesty The Queen. The gallery will reopen to the public for the first time when the V&A reopens on 19 May. The Raphael Cartoons are among the greatest treasures of the Renaissance in the UK. Shortly after his election in 1513, Pope Leo X commissioned Raphael to create a set of ten full-scale designs for a series of tapestries for the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican Palace, illustrating scenes from the lives of Saint Peter and Saint Paul. Once complete, the Cartoons – each measuring around 5 metres wide and 3.5 metres high – were sent to the workshop of merchant-weaver Pieter van Aelst in Brussels, which transformed the monumental designs into tapestries. Seven of the Cartoons survive to this day, brought to Britain in the early 17th century by the Prince of Wales, later Charles I. They remained in the Royal Collection and were lent to the South Kensington Museum – now the V&A – by Queen Victoria in 1865 in memory of Prince Albert and have been on public display in the museum ever since.

At a time when the arts and humanities are gravely endangered, there is an urgency in this enterprise. Our public programme aims to change lives, offering opportunities for personal, educational and career development, which would not otherwise be open. The Courtauld’s programme targets schools with a high number of pupils qualifying for free school meals (primary and secondary), and the sixth form and further education (FE) colleges, which serve them. With the generous support of The Courtauld Friends, we have continued to enrich and develop our programmes for young people throughout this crucial stage of the Gallery’s transition and closure.

This lecture series will complement the new Research Forum/Andrew W Mellon Foundation M.A. on ‘Global Conceptualism’, run by Dr Sarah Wilson with Visiting Professor Groys (New York University) who will be teaching its philosophy-based component in the Spring term. Known for his active role in the Moscow Conceptualist art movement, Groys’ The Communist Postscript (Verso 2009) pursues a story which is now playing out in the reconfiguration of the global art world. The impact of the conceptual art to which he responded in the late 1960s was felt across the world, from West to East and from northern to southern hemispheres. Here the father- figure of the movement, Joseph Kosuth, returns in the company of younger generations of artists, art historians and curators who extend reflections upon art, object, image and word through time and space from their specific geographies and histories to the immaterial.
