Blake and Exhibitions, 2023

Abstract

The landmark exhibition of 2023 was William Blake: Visionary at the Getty, originally scheduled for summer 2020 as the American counterpart of the Tate Britain retrospective of 2019–​20, but postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, in spring 2023 Blake returned to the main gallery at Tate as part of the rehang of the collections, which involved him in the dialogue between historic and contemporary art and politics through interventions within the chronological survey.
