Coming from Tate St Ives this forms the first major show of Patrick Heron’s work since his death in 1999, when he was 78. A British abstract and figurative artist, writer, and polemicist, the elaborate extent of the exhibition provides an insight into his fixation with colour, considering it first and foremost in his work as a manifestation of his acute outlook on life.

The Age of Love by Heather Phillipson

Home Futures
7 November – 24 March
Design Museum, London

Through the lens of 20th-century speculations on the ‘home of the future’, this exhibition explores whether yesterday’s imagination has indeed become today’s reality. Presenting the work of pioneering architects and designers, Home Futures seeks to discover if the notion of home can ever truly be open to the type of radical change that is consistently proposed.
