Serpentine Gallery ABOUT THE

The Serpentine Galleries are some of Britain's best loved galleries, attracting up to 1.2 million visitors in any year. Championing new ideas in contemporary art since it opened in 1970, the Serpentine has presented pioneering exhibitions of 2,876 artists over 45 years, showing a wide range of work from emerging practitioners to the most internationally recognised artists, and designers of our time.

Today, the Serpentine is two exhibition spaces situated on either side of The Serpentine lake in London’s Kensington Gardens: the Serpentine Gallery and the Serpentine Sackler Gallery, which opened to the public in September 2013. (Open Tuesday to Sunday 10am-6pm, the Galleries offer free admission throughout the year.) “There is a deliberate imprecision in Escobedo’s work that comes from her liking for rough materials and her belief in incompleteness. She leaves gaps, literally and metaphorically, within which the activities of the users might complete what she started. Her aims to be performative, something that itself keeps changing and encourages others to react.”

The Observer, Rowan Moore Serpentine Gallery and Serpentine Pavilion designed by Frida Escobedo The(11 Serpentine June – 7 OctoberPavilion 2018)2014 Designed© 2018 Iwan by Smiljan Baan Radić “The Serpentine Gallery in London’s Hyde Park has turbo- charged the pavilion format, fashioning from this simple idea an annual playground for architects who have yet to build in Britain. In doing this, it has, for each year this century, created a remarkable and freely accessible forum for the discussion and direct experience of architecture.” **** Financial Times, Eddie Heathcote, 2018

The purchase of the annual Serpentine Pavilion is a major component of the Serpentine’s fundraising programme. Its sale enables the Galleries to continue building on their ambitious architecture series and allows the buyer to advance the legacy of these unique structures.

The Serpentine Pavilion 2017 designed by Diébédo Francis Kéré will have a new permanent home in Malaysia. The pavilion was purchased by Kuala Lumpur-based Ilham Gallery who are seeking a location for the pavilion in Malaysia's Klang Valley – the region that surrounds and encompasses the city.

In 2016, Westbank supported and subsequently purchased the Pavilion, with Serpentine Pavilion 2002, designed by Toyo Ito with Arup, Le the intention that it would serve a purpose beyond the one exhibition. Plans Beauvallon, Cote d’Azur are currently underway that would see the Serpentine Pavilion on display for periods of time in New York and Toronto, before eventually finding its way to a permanent home in Vancouver.

In 2015, Second Home purchased the Serpentine’s 15th Pavilion designed by Spanish architectural firm selgascano. This structure will be installed in Los Angeles, providing visitors the opportunity to enjoy the colourful structure’s second life.

The 2014 Pavilion, designed by Chilean Smiljan Radić, was purchased by art gallery Hauser & Wirth and is now in situ at Durslade Farm, Bruton, Somerset, where it is located next to an expansive garden designed by Dutch master Piet Oudolf.

Frank Gehry’s wooden structure, purchased in 2008, is now situated in Chateau-la-Coste, in Aix-en-Provence, , and used to host outdoor concerts and events across the summer season.

In 2002, the Pavilion designed by Toyo Ito was reconstructed on site of the luxury hotel Le Beauvallon on Cote d’Azur, France.
