Beatriz González at Barbican Art Gallery

More info

This major exhibition is the first UK retrospective of ground-breaking Colombian artist, Beatriz González

Bringing together six decades of González’s work – from the 1960s to the present – this exhibition celebrates the artist’s extraordinary and dynamic practice. Through paintings, sculptural assemblages and monumental public installations, she persistently engages with how images permeate the world and radically reimagines what art can tell us about power, grief and memory.

Known as ‘la maestra’ in Colombia, González’s singular vision has influenced generations of artists and thinkers. Her striking body of work speaks to experiences of conflict, communion and everything in between and this retrospective, while situating González’s practice within the specific history of Colombia and its wider Latin American context, reveals how profoundly her practice resonates with global concerns.

Tickets: £19 (plus booking fee). Concessions available. Every Thursday from 5-8pm and Friday 10am-12pm, entry is priced Pay What You Can.

Time: open Tuesday to Sunday until Sunday 10 May 2026
