Tate Modern's first exhibition devoted to Claude Monet, with more than 60 of his paintings spanning 60 years of his career.
Claude Monet is coming to Tate Modern on 25 February 2027, in the gallery's first ever exhibition dedicated exclusively to him. It opens a century after he died at Giverny, and it's the UK's largest presentation of his work in nearly a decade. The show runs until 27 June, so there's plenty of time to fit it in over the spring.
There are more than 60 paintings on display, and they cover a huge stretch of his career, from the 1870s right through to the 1920s. You'll see the big series he's most famous for — the Rouen Cathedral, Grainstacks, Poplars and Mornings on the Seine — alongside 20 Water Lilies. It's staged with the Musée de l'Orangerie in Paris, where the Water Lilies murals he gave to France still hang, and it's curated by Juliet Bingham and Genevieve Barton. The whole thing closes with Après Monet (2020), an immersive video arrangement by Ange Leccia.
The exhibition is built around Monet's relationship with time. It traces how he dealt with it in different ways: the railway and the industrialised city that standardised it; the fleeting 'impressionist' moment he chased in series like the Poplars on the Epte; and the garden at Giverny, where he spent the last thirty years of his life painting the same pond. It's a long look at how his approach shifted over six decades, from the early days of Impressionism to the late, expansive works of his final years. Morgan Stanley is the lead supporter.
