upcoming exhibitions [September]

A massive wave of interesting art exhibitions is about to hit London. The Rothko show at Tate Modern will definitely be a blockbuster (from 26 September), and Francis Bacon at Tate Britain (from 11 September) will attract flocks of visitors too (this year’s Turner Prize contenders are on show as well). Moving from Southbank to Kensington, the Serpentine will open an exhibition of new works by German master Gerhard Richeter on 23 September, and in North London the Estorick Collection will host Cut&Paste: Photomontage 1920-50 from September 24 (the Estorick is worth a trip to Highbury, it’s such a nice space, and the shows are usually pretty good). It’s enough to make me giddy, but the list goes on: Dryden Goodwin at the Photographer’s Gallery (26 September-16 November); Wallace Berman at Camden Arts Centre (26 September-23 November); Robin Rhode at the Hayward (23 September-7 December); Design Cities at the Design Museum (5 September-4 January 2009).
