Andy Warhol 1948-1960

Today marks the 20th anniversary of Andy Warhol's death but this exhibition spotlights the beginning of his career. With more than 100 works on paper, it shows how he found his creative way. Newly arrived in Manhattan from Pittsburgh, he worked as an advertising illustrator, and this show digs deep into his commercial portfolio, though there are telling scraps of personal work, too. Until 3 March.

By the time Canaletto arrived in England in 1746, his paintings had already made themselves at home here, brought back by Grand Tourists. A gently revelatory exhibition. Until 15 April.
Anselm Kiefer: Aperiatur Terra
