Current and forthcoming exhibitions:

Elizabeth Blackadder
2nd July 2011 to 2nd January 2012
Scottish National Gallery
£8 (£6)
This summer’s major exhibition at the Scottish National Gallery is devoted to the art of Dame Elizabeth Blackadder. One of Scotland’s most popular artists, Blackadder is celebrated for her paintings, watercolours and drawings, and in particular for her depictions of plants and animals.
As well as featuring her much-loved still lifes, this retrospective will be a rare chance to see lesser known works, such as the vibrantly coloured, large-scale paintings from earlier in her career.

The Queen: Art and Image
25th June to 18th September 2011
Scottish National Gallery
£7 (£5)

To celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee in 2012, the Scottish National Gallery is showing The Queen: Art and Image. This stunning exhibition brings together remarkable images of Queen Elizabeth II, spanning the 60 years of her reign, some of which are on public display for the first time. Works include formal painted portraits, official photographs, media images and those by contemporary artists. Featuring photographers such as Beaton and Leibovitz alongside modern masters such as Freud, Richter and Warhol, this rich exhibition explores the changing face of royal portraiture.

Exhibition organised by the National Portrait Gallery, London in a collaboration with the National Galleries of Scotland, Ulster Museum, Northern Ireland and National Museum of Wales.
