The Summer Exhibition is co-ordinated by Richard Wilson RA, and runs from 13 June – 21 August 2016.

Famous as the world’s largest open submission show, this year also features work by some of the art world’s most successful artistic duos whose work will be dispersed throughout.

Highlights include a large-scale suspended kite sculpture by Heather and Ivan Morison, sculpture by brothers Jake and Dinos Chapman, and an atmospheric photographic installation from Jane and Louise Wilson. Most works in the exhibition are for sale, giving you the opportunity to own original artworks by leading artists of today and tomorrow.
