Galleries: By Night National Galleries of Scotland, are excited to launch By Night, a series of bespoke, evening events incorporating music, live art, performances, talks, comedy, and much more. Following the success of our Picasso: By Night event last year at Modern One and our special Salon event Dressed to Thrill at the Portrait Gallery in December, each event will be focused around a particular exhibition on display at one of the Galleries. Our first summer event in July will take From Death to Death and Other Small Tales as its inspiration with more to follow, including Edinburgh Festival Fringe events centred on Tickling Jock and then Witches & Wicked Bodies: By Night taking place, appropriately enough, on Hallowe’en! For more details see page 24 and visit nationalgalleries.org/bynight

Miró comes to the Modern Two extraordinary sculptures by the great Surrealist artist Joan Miró (1893-1983) have been placed on long term loan to the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art. These massive bronze sculptures, the taller of which measures ten feet in height, have been generously lent by the Miró Estate in Spain. Femme (Woman), 1970 and Personnage (Figure), 1978 were recently installed on the lawn in front of the Modern One, where they will remain for up to five years. For related events, see page 24.

Peter Doig, Cricket painting (paragrand) (detail), 2006-2012. Courtesy private collection © the artist.

Peter Doig is one of the most internationally-renowned artists working today. Over a career of nearly three decades, Doig has reinvigorated the medium of painting. His inventive style, sensuous palette and suggestive imagery set him apart from the conceptualism dominating much of contemporary art. A willingness to take up the challenge still posed by the paintings of Gauguin, Matisse, Bonnard and Edward Hopper places him in a long line of great colourists, expressive handlers of paint and creators of richly textured worlds. Doig’s first major exhibition in the country of his birth, No Foreign Lands showcases works created during the past ten years, much of which the artist spent in Trinidad. Often tropical in their subject matter, these are paintings of intense colour on a monumental scale. For related events, see page 24.

Frederic Edwin Church, Sunrise, October-December 1862 ÂŠ New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation / Olana State Historic Site, Hudson, NY

Through American Eyes: Frederic Church and the Landscape Oil Sketch Scottish National Gallery Until 8 September 2013 Admission free

This exhibition celebrates one of the greatest American painters of the 19th century. Frederic Church (1826-1900) is renowned for his spectacular landscapes, which combine dramatic compositions with beautifully observed light effects. His travels took him to locations as distant as the Arctic Circle, South America and Europe. The show brings together 25 of his remarkably fresh and spontaneous oil sketches, borrowed from collections in the United States, and juxtaposes these with Churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s magnificent and imposing Niagara Falls from the American Side, donated to the Scottish National Gallery in 1887 by an ex-patriot Scot, John Stewart Kennedy. For related events, see page 24.

This exhibition is organised by The National Gallery, London, in partnership with and through major support from the Terra Foundation for American Art. Additional support comes from The Olana Partnership and generous loans from Olana and Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum, Smithsonian Institution. 10

Auguste Rodin, The Kiss, 1889 © Tate London, 2013

Rodin’s The Kiss Scottish National Gallery Until 2 February 2014 Admission free

Auguste Rodin’s magnificent marble sculpture comes to Edinburgh on year-long loan from Tate Britain. Rodin is widely regarded as one of the greatest sculptors of the 19th century and this life-size evocation of love is among his most famous works. Having first shown The Kiss to huge popular acclaim in 1889, Rodin was commissioned to make this second version, which was completed in 1904. It depicts the adulterous lovers Paolo Malatesta and Francesca da Rimini, who appear as characters in Dante’s The Divine Comedy. Such was the allure of The Kiss that hundreds of bronze copies were produced by the Barbedienne foundry. As a result, this spectacular sculpture has become one of the most instantly recognised and best-loved works of art in the world. For related events, see page 24.

Pietro Testa, The Massacre of the Innocents (detail) © National Galleries of Scotland, photography by Antonia Reeve

Pietro Testa: Master Draughtsman and Printmaker Scottish National Gallery 15 June – 13 October 2013 Admission free

Pietro Testa (1612–1650) was one of the most gifted Italian draughtsmen and etchers of the 17th century, whose prints, in particular, had an enduring influence. His earlier work ranged from lyrical mythologies in Arcadian landscape settings to gruesome scenes of martyrdom. Testa’s ambition to succeed as a painter of grand historical subjects was never fulfilled, and his death by drowning in the Tiber at the age of 37 was probably suicide.

NEW TO THE GALLERIES

Manet’s Mademoiselle Claus Scottish National Gallery 27 July – 1 September 2013 Admission free

Recently acquired by the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, Edouard Manet’s Portrait of Mademoiselle Claus (1868) will be on show at the Scottish National Gallery this summer. The painting is a study for The Balcony, from the Musée d’Orsay, Paris, one of the masterpieces of early Impressionism. It depicts the concert violinist Fanny Claus, a member of the first all-female string quartet, and was owned for many years by the American painter John Singer Sargent.

Guthrie’s In the Orchard Scottish National Gallery From 17 July 2013 Admission free

Previously one of the last great Glasgow School paintings still in private ownership, In the Orchard (1888) by Sir James Guthrie (1859-1930) has recently been jointly purchased by the National Galleries of Scotland and Glasgow Life with generous assistance from the National Heritage Memorial Fund and the Art Fund. One of the stars of Glasgow Museums’ major exhibition Pioneering Painters: The Glasgow Boys 1880-1900 in 2010, the Guthrie will alternate between the Scottish National Gallery and Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery in Glasgow. In Edinburgh it will be shown with EA Walton’s A Daydream (1885), another outstanding Art Fund grant-aided purchase in 1999 and, like the Guthrie In the Orchard, originally in the McAlpine family collection. Purchased jointly by the National Galleries of Scotland and Glasgow Life with assistance from the National Heritage Memorial Fund and the Art Fund 2012.

Space Age Archaeology: Eduardo Paolozzi and Science Fiction Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art (Modern Two) 17 July – 27 October 2013 Admission free

A key figure in British Pop art, Leith-born artist Eduardo Paolozzi accumulated source material from all areas of popular culture; however, it was popular science fiction which particularly influenced the imagery of the prints, sculptures and books he produced. This display explores the links between Paolozzi’s art and the world of science fiction, presenting his prints, sculpture and books alongside some of the objects and toys that inspired him.

From Death to Death and Other Small Tales: Masterpieces from the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art and the D.Daskalopoulos Collection Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art (Modern One) Until 8 September 2013 Admission free

**** The Independent ‘Superb’ The Guardian ‘Rewarding and remarkable’ Scotland on Sunday This spectacular exhibition explores the theme of the body through the eyes of modern and contemporary artists. Bringing together works from one of the most significant private holdings of contemporary art, the D.Daskalopoulos Collection, with key pieces from the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, the show provides a new context for both collections. Through often surprising juxtapositions between artworks, it offers a journey through the diverse ways that artists over the past 100 years have investigated the notion of the body, drawing attention to the nature of human existence, questions of identity and the cycles of life and death. The show features works by some 30 artists including Marina Abramović, Matthew Barney, Hans Bellmer, Joseph Beuys, Louise Bourgeois, Salvador Dalí, Marcel Duchamp, Robert Gober, David Hammons, William Kentridge, Sarah Lucas, Ana Mendieta, René Magritte, Ernesto Neto, Pablo Picasso and Kiki Smith. Please note this exhibition features nudity and imagery of an explicit nature. Rooms with such content are highlighted in the exhibition.

Ken Currie: New Works Scottish National Portrait Gallery 20 July − 22 September 2013 Admission free

Ken Currie is one of the outstanding figurative painters of his generation. The Glasgow-based artist is renowned in the context of the Portrait Gallery for his haunting, luminous painting Three Oncologists (2002). Widely admired for his intensely powerful and provocative work, the portraiture of the Old Masters, such as Velázquez, Goya and David has always fascinated Currie, and his own work has often obliquely engaged with its traditions and concerns. In this exhibition of new paintings, on public view for the first time, Currie meditates upon the idea of the portrait, its origins and purposes, and its continued significance in the modern world.

Minette: The Life and Letters of a Stuart Princess Scottish National Portrait Gallery Until 5 January 2014 Admission free

Explore the fascinating life of an often overlooked historical figure, Henriette Anne Stuart (1644-1670), the youngest sister of Charles II whom he affectionately called ‘Minette’. Smuggled from England at the age of two, Henriette Anne was brought up at the French court where she married Philippe, Duke of Orléans, the brother of Louis XIV. Famed for her charming nature and keen interest in the arts, she played a key role in negotiating a secret alliance between the French and English monarchs. Centring around a magnificent fulllength portrait of Henriette Anne by the French artist Jean Nocret (1615-1672) the exhibition explores Minette’s short life within a court rife with power struggles, scandal and intrigue.

Migration Stories: Valentina Bonizzi Scottish National Portrait Gallery Until 27 October 2013 Admission free

Italian-born artist Valentina Bonizzi has lived in Scotland for eight years. Using photography and other objects Bonizzi aims to create what she has termed the ‘Image document’ exploring migrant experiences from 1940 to today. Her work focuses on the transformational experience of migration: a transitory and fluid existence which challenges one’s sense of certainty of place and meaning. The exhibition develops Migration Stories’ commitment to raising questions about citizenship and belonging. For related events, see page 24.
