THE FIVE BEST EXHIBITIONS
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.AFRICA. Highly ambitious survey of "the art of a continent", from the earliest objects made by man to the modern age. Too much to take in, but a very helpful installation. Royal Academy, W1 (0171 439 7438), to 21 Jan. Daily 10-6.
ART AND POWER. Official art produced under the dictators. Somewhat sanitised, but still a forbidding account of the worst art of the 1930s. Hayward Gallery, SE1 (0171 261 0127), to 21 Jan. Sun, Thurs & Fri 10-6, Tues & Wed 10-8.
DAVID HOCKNEY. A retrospective of his drawings, from art-school days to the present. Much wunderkind charm at first, then rather boring views of LA and much-improved portraits of boyfriends, poets and his Mum. Royal Academy, to 28 Jan. Sun, Tues-Sat 10-6.
JOHN MOORES. Much-loved open painting show: 60 new works of all sorts. Liverpool Walker Art Gallery (0151 478 4199), to 28 Jan. Sun 12-5, Tues- Sat 10-5.
IN TRUST FOR THE NATION. Seventy paintings from National Trust houses. Less conventional than you might expect; gems from Van Dyck, Claude, Turner, Andrea del Sarto, etc. National Gallery, WC2 (0171 839 3321), to 10 Mar. Sun 2-6, Tues-Sat 10-6. Tim Hilton
