Turner's Retrospective in Monaco

On 6 July 2024, the Grimaldi Forum Monaco, in collaboration with Tate, and its Senior Project Curator Elizabeth Brooke, unveiled the exhibition-event “Turner's Sublime Legacy”, a retrospective on the British artist Joseph Mallord William Turner, who is known for his dramatic use of colour, intense landscapes and turbulent marine paintings.

This exhibition features an ensemble of artworks in a new scenography of over 2,000 square meters within the exhibition space. According to the organisers, it serves as “an invitation to a journey through Joseph Mallord William Turner’s representations of the world in a sublime mode, from his landscapes to the elementary explorations of light and atmosphere of which he was a pioneer and master”.

Turner’s decisive influence on painting, and by extension his legacy, is highlighted in the exhibition through some interpretations of the sublime by modern and contemporary artists such as, among others, Richard Long, Olafur Eliasson, Cornelia Parker, Jessica Warboys, John Akomfrah, Katie Paterson, and Mark Rothko.
The exhibition runs until September 1st, 2024
Open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
