Whitechapel Art Gallery
Whitechapel Art Gallery Review
Founded in 1901, this gallery has expanded into fabulous new spaces and presents internationally renowned shows that are often on the cutting edge of contemporary art. The American painter Jackson Pollock exhibited here in the 1950s, as did pop artist Robert Rauschenberg in the 1960s; David Hockney had his first solo show here in the 1970s. The gallery also hosts talks, film screenings, concerts, poetry readings, and other events. Pick up a free East End art map to help you with the rest of your gallery hopping.
