Only Connect

The RA is proud to present the latest exhibition from the Royal Academy’s Art Sales programme; ‘Only Connect’, curated by Professor David Remfry RA.

This diverse selection of work, by Royal Academicians and invited artists, explores the relationship between the artist and the drawn line, celebrating connections between seemingly disparate works that resonate with one another in various ways. Only Connect is curated by David Remfry RA, Eranda Professor of Drawing at the RA Schools.

A selection of these works is showcased in an exhibition in the Keeper’s House and is available to buy online through Art Sales at the RA.

Find out more about the Own Art scheme, which allows buyers to spread the cost of the purchase of a limited edition or unique work in the Art Sales at the RA collection over 10 months with an interest-free loan.

28 April — 11 September 2017

Saturday – Thursday 10am – 6pm
Friday 10am – 10pm

If you are not a Friend, Patron or Corporate Member of the RA, simply ask staff at the Keeper’s House for access to see the exhibition before 4pm

Part of the mystery of art lies in what, as viewers, we connect with and part is in the artist’s domain to have made that mysterious spark possible. Though many of these works are very different from one another, for me, the interest is in what they have in common.
