Josephine Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 The Natalia Goncharova exhibition opens at Tate Modern, London on 6 June. One room will focus on her work with the Ballets Russes, featuring costume designs and examples of ballet costumes. https://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-modern/exhibition/natalia-goncharova https://ca.blouinartinfo.com/news/story/3619528/uks-first-ever-retrospective-of-russian-avant-garde-artist 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onemouseplace Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Just bumping this as the exhibition opened today (and is on until 8 September). I'm going on Sunday afternoon, which will tie in nicely with the two Firebirds I'm seeing in the next week (the Fonteyn celebration tomorrow and the 14th).

Lizbie1 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I was going to post asking whether anyone had been yet (very early days I know!) and how substantial the stage/costume design presence is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNC Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Yes please report back onemouseplace and anyone else who goes. Exhibitions are so expensive now I only go if I know it's going to be very substantial and what I am interested in! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RHowarth Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I went this morning. There is a full room of Ballets Russes things - a few costumes from Coq d'Or, sketches for Les Noces... They were playing a clip from Coq d'Or (1930s) and one from Les Noces from 70s (Dowell and Beriosova??? It didn't say). The exhibition overall I found very interesting but I wouldn't say the Ballets Russes room was stuffed full of either exhibits or information. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really enjoyed the exhibition as a whole, but I wouldn't go just on the basis of the stage/ costume design aspect of her work. For The Firebird there was only a theatre poster and a design for the backdrop. I found plenty of her work very interesting and striking though, and could see how she came to stage and costume design. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
