Futurism

Futurism represents a significant revision of the accepted understanding of this major Italian movement and returns it to the central position that it occupied in the avant-garde of the years immediately preceding the First World War. Celebrating the centenary of Filippo Tommaso Marinetti’s publication of the Founding and First Manifesto of Futurism in February 1909, the exhibition will be a major landmark and the first large-scale showing of Futurism in Britain in thirty years. At the heart of the exhibition lie the works from the groundbreaking Futurist exhibition at the Galerie Bernheim in Paris that came to the Sackville Gallery in London in 1912. Artists featuring in the exhibition include Umberto Boccioni, Gino Severini, Carlo Carrà, Luigi Russolo, Giacomo Balla, Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Sonia Delaunay, Robert Delaunay, Raymond Duchamp-Villon, Natalya Goncharova, Lyubov Popova, David Bomberg, Wyndham Lewis, Christopher Richard Wynne Nevinson and Jacob Epstein.
