EXHIBITIONS

Opening on 26 July is the Piet Mondrian: Nature to Abstraction exhibition at the Tate. Over 60 Mondrian paintings will be displayed, ranging from the early work (1908-11) of his luminist period through to his famous abstract compositions. The works have been selected by the abstract painter Bridget Riley. Until 30 November.

Venue: The Tate Gallery, Millbank, London SW1.

Or perhaps the London Institute’s summer exhibition is more your thing. Working in London will feature work by two artists, Jaroslav Bradac from Prague and Bob Britten from Gloucestershire, who have worked in London since the late Sixties. The show examines London’s influences on their painting. Until 12 September.

Venue: The London Institute, 65 Davies Street, London W1.
