glass movement from a craft to an art. He has collaborated with the greatest American and Italian glass artists, and is reknowned for his ambitious architectural installations around the world, in historic cities, museums and gardens. This exhibition sees the artist responding to the interior architecture of the building, transforming the gallery space with his distinctive hand-blown glass sculptures, and it will be the first time he has exhibited neon artworks in the UK. ‘What I’ve always really been interested in is space’, says Chihuly, and three of the six new Chandeliers created for this exhibition will be suspended over ground installations to create a striking negative space between their pointed forms. Also pop along to Harrods and check out the first artwork ever commissioned by Harrods, Chihuly’s Amber and Gold Chandelier, which will be unveiled in the new Grand Hall on February 5th.

Van Gogh’s iconic ‘Sunflower’ paintings have stood the test of time, and visitors to the National Gallery in early 2014 will have a unique chance to see two of Van Gogh’s paintings in London, side by side, for the first joint display in 65 years. The ‘Sunflower’ series dates back to 1888, when Van Gogh painted pictures of the sunflowers to decorate the room of his friend and mentor, Paul Gauguin. There are five versions of ‘Sunflowers’, three currently in Tokyo, Munich and Philadelphia. The version owned by the National Gallery will be displayed alongside another version owned by the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, providing visitors with new insights into the materials used by the great artist in the development of his paintings, and how the process of making influences the meaning of the works.

James Turrell

PaceLondon,6BurlingtonGardens, LondonW1S3ET February 7th to April 5th The work of Los Angeles born artist James Turrell isn’t often seen in the UK, but for the first exhibition of his work at Pace London, Turrell’s creativity with glass and light will be illuminated, quite literally. Turrell’s inspiration is drawn from astronomy, physics, architecture and theology, and features panes of glass creating unique effects from a sophisticated array of LED lights. Along with two never-before-seen pieces from his Wide Glass series, the exhibition allows both artist and audience to explore technological possibilities and sensory practices, focusing on light and space – not objects, nor images. Turrell’s work is also currently being exhibited at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art until April 2014, so this exhibition in London is a unique opportunity to see works by one of the most influential American artists of the past fifty years.
