Welcome to Issue no. 12 of The Art List!
I’m excited to see some of you this evening at Berntson Bhattacharjee’s new space in Fitzrovia for an artist talk with Georg Wilson. Next week, I am looking forward to the opening of Bodies, Gluttony and Me at Pictorum Gallery in Marylebone. And I highly recommend visiting the immersive and playful France-Lise McGurn show at Simon Lee Gallery.
If you go to anything from this list, let me know what you liked and as always please get in touch with any questions or feedback!

Amanda
