INVITATION


The President and Council request the pleasure of your company at


The Summer Exhibition 2020

Buyers Days


For the first time in its 252 year history, the Summer Exhibition will fall in the winter. But at the RA Summer is a state of mind not a time of year...

We're delighted to invite you to this year's Buyers Days, one of the first opportunities to view and buy art from our annual Summer Exhibition.

Due to social distancing measures, capacity is extremely limited and all visitors must book their time slot to visit in advance.

Please book online for 1 October here or for 2 October here. Be sure to book an extra ticket for your guest if required.

As tickets are limited, booking will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.

If you're unable to make it this year, don't fear. We will also be sending you priority access to the Summer Explorer, our online Summer Exhibition art buying platform and viewing room, before it opens to the public. A unique link will be sent to you in October. Watch your inbox.

Thanks for posting this Eastendboy13, in London in December, this looks like it may be worth a visit - nice one.

Thanks earthlinga2, appreciate the recommendation and comments.

Not going as a buyer, but have a few days booked over New Year in London, and this looks a top visit.

Not been before, The Summer Exhibition that is, not London, so now on the list to do.

The (online) Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2020 has just opened:

I’ve bought pieces from the Summer Exhibition twice.

Prices are fair for many pieces, and much will sell out, but in my opinion there’s also no small amount of wishful thinking going on with some of the prices. If you like an artist but aren’t desperate to buy, just follow the artist’s website or social media. You might find that prices are way lower after some time.

If I were buying, this one is pretty fantastic and well priced: se.royalacademy.org.uk/2020/artworks/jay-zhang/438

Finally got along to this yesterday - as always, well worth a visit if you can although not sure what Tier 3 means for the RA. Usual mix of works crammed into a number of rooms. Apologies for the phone photos but hopefully gives you an idea.

To be honest, it was just nice to be wandering around a gallery again...

We went at the weekend, too, and really enjoyed it (although didn’t think the first couple of rooms were that inspiring). Loved the Perry print, among others. Also liked the room showing the architectural projects

I know what you mean about the first couple rooms - were a bit flat (apart from a lovely and massive Frank Bowling for £756K). Have to say, I never get the architectural room - it always confuses me by being there!
