Paths to Fame

The Winter biggy at Somerset House in London is Paths to Fame: Turner Watercolours from The Courtauld, which opens on 30 October and continues until 25 January 2009. This is the first full display of The Courtauld Gallery's outstanding collection of watercolours by J.M.W. Turner, with additional loans from the Tate and private collections. The exhibits include early sketches for watercolours or published prints, so visitors can see Turner's work from start to finish. Looks good. Various special events accompany the exhibition (title link).
