Exhibition Tour: ‘Don McCullin. 90’

Join us for an artist-led walkthrough of ‘’ at before the gallery opens to the public.

Led by acclaimed photographer Sir Don McCullin CBE and Hauser & Wirth Senior Director Dea Vanagan, the tour will provide a unique insight into this special presentation, which includes works featured in McCullin’s 2019 Tate Britain exhibition, alongside seminal images across his seven-decade career. His only self-portrait, taken in 1963 at Crowthers Reclamation Yard, Isleworth, will be exhibited for the first time in the UK.

Spanning the Bourgeois and Rhoades galleries, the tour is open to all ages; however, children must be accompanied by an adult.

Tickets are free, but advance booking is essential. If you are able, we encourage donations to our 2024 – 2026 charity partner Good Company Bruton.

Before the tour begins, Roth Bar will be serving coffee, pastries and brunch from 9 am and the garden will be open from 10 am. The gallery will be open 12 – 5 pm.

About ‘Don McCullin. 90’
The gallery is honored to celebrate ‘Don McCullin. 90’ in the photographer’s home county of Somerset, marking his 90th year and coinciding with ‘Don McCullin. Broken Beauty’ at the Holburne Museum in Bath, UK. Spanning both the Bourgeois and Rhoades Galleries, the presentation includes 90 works from his seven-decade career. Unlike McCullin’s widespread photojournalism, this focused curation is not anchored to a specific marker in recent history, but instead provides an unbound homage to quieter moments within the everyday. McCullin conjures the power of transient and tender images caught on film, absorbing the crevices of life and glimpses of human connection.

The exhibition is on view from 14 February through 12 April.
