American Gothic, Grant Wood

Art in focus 2017: The exhibitions to watch for this year

Sunday, January 1, 2017
Early this year, the Royal Academy will cast light on American artists of the 1930s – the highlight of which is Grant Wood's iconic American Gothic on display for the first time in Britain – and, come autumn, another influential American figure will take centre stage. Jasper Johns is associated with key art movements of the 20th century, including Pop Art and Abstract Expressionism. This major new exhibition will feature his most recognisable pieces, as well as his more recent sculptural work.
