Art late opening: Aperitivo Night at the Estorick + exhibition

Let's enjoy an Italian Aperitif at the Estorick Collection at their Summer Late Opening evening on Thurs 28 August. This will likely be in their outdoors courtyard - sorry I don't know how much they charge for drinks.

Their Claudio Parmiggiani exhibition is still on for the last few days, so our opportunity to see it before the next exhibition opens on 12 Sept. There is even a free* Introduction to the exhibition at 18:30 (*Free with an admission ticket valid for the same day).

Standard tickets are £9.50, National Art Pass £4.75, Full Time Student: £4, Universal Credit: £1, Concs £7.50 (65+, etc). Tickets are usually available at the door. See full listing:

Let's meet at Highbury & Islington tube just before 6pm to leave at that time and walk down together. I want to be at the gallery well before 6.30pm.

If we want to, we can either go to the Canonbury Tavern afterwards, a pub with a big garden that's a few minutes walk away, - or stay in the courtyard. The Estorick will stay open until 9pm.

Notes about the Claudio Parmiggiani exhibition:
"The Estorick Collection presents the first ever institutional UK exhibition dedicated to pioneering contemporary Italian master Claudio Parmiggiani. Featuring selected works from the past 50 years, the exhibition highlights the artist's distinctive exploration of memory, absence and silence in his "search for an image, object or assemblage that transcends time and individual experience to evoke a universal, existential truth".
After the Second World War, during a period of crisis for traditional figurative art, Parmiggiani developed a visual language that was both deeply personal and profoundly innovative. His approach established him as a pioneering figure, redefining artistic expression through a unique and introspective lens.
At the heart of the exhibition are the Delocazioni (Italian for 'displacements') that employ smoke and soot to create ghostly impressions of objects such as bottles, books and the human form. Originally conceived in the 1970s, this has become one of Parmiggiani's most emblematic techniques.
The exhibition presents both monumental and more intimate pieces from this iconic body of work, poetic meditations on absence and memory.
Also on view are works on paper and mixed-media sculptures that the artist describes as "sculpted paintings".
