Britain's What's On Event Guide
The Big City
The most extensive collection of large-scale London paintings in the world will open at the City of London Corporation’s Guildhall Art Gallery from Friday 10 February.
The Big City: London painted on a grand scale celebrates the exceptional talent of 19 artists and showcases some of the largest paintings in the Gallery’s collection, including works that are not normally on public display.
At the heart of The Big City exhibition will be a series of pieces by David Hepher, on display in London for the first time. The works were gifted to the City Corporation by the artist in 2022 and is the largest donation in the Gallery’s recent history.
Hepher’s career spans over six decades and for the last 40 years, his practice has focused almost exclusively on London, in particular, the inner-city estates of the 1960s and 1970s.
The Big City will open to the public on a pay-what-you-can basis. Curator-led and guided tours will also be available to book daily during the exhibition.
The City of London Corporation, which owns and manages Guildhall Art Gallery, is the fourth largest funder of heritage and cultural activities in the UK and invests over £130m every year.
