Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Maggi Hambling
A new series of bronze sculptures and a set of monochrome monotypes reveal that, following her recent excursion into abstraction, Hambling is still more at home with the figurative. The bronzes are particularly successful.

Imagined Communities
Nine artists show works that explore the thesis that with the new technology, traditional concepts of community have all but disappeared. Sophie Calle photographs hotel bedrooms. Christian Boltanski snaps the new kids at a school in Lisson Grove. Other pieces include politicians' heads on animal bodies, and what the citizens of Russia, Finland and the US would like to see on their walls.

Bridget Riley
The queen of Op Art shows off her latest eye-dazzling paintings. Some might say that the only difference between these and Riley's work of the 1960s is that they are in colour, but that would be to miss the point. Far from tired, they are the culmination of 30 years of experiment and investigation.
