Discover three of the biggest names in modern and contemporary art at Modern One this summer with a series of free ARTIST ROOMS displays in Edinburgh. Experience impactful new displays by Louise Bourgeois, Helen Chadwick, and Robert Mapplethorpe, each offering distinctive and diverse approaches to the ideas of self-expression, identity, and the complexity of our inner life. Visitors will encounter Louise Bourgeois’s three-metre-high Spider, innovative light boxes and a playful sculptural installation by Helen Chadwick and striking self-portraits by Robert Mapplethorpe.

These presentations are part of a wider set of new displays at Modern One showcasing modern and contemporary art from your national collection.
