Art in Mayfair 2025

Art in Mayfair, a five-week celebration of art and culture in Mayfair, is back for 2025. In partnership with the Royal Academy of Arts, and in its eighth season, Art in Mayfair sees Honorary Royal Academician Anselm Kiefer, one of the most significant artists of our time, invited to create a series of flags that will adorn Bond Street from 16 June to 22 July 2025. 

In a vivid tribute, the flags showcase recent works by Kiefer inspired by Van Gogh’s iconic sunflower motif - bringing the influence of the Dutch master into the centre of London’s West End.

This year’s Art in Mayfair coincides with the Royal Academy’s much-anticipated landmark Kiefer / Van Gogh exhibition opening 28 June 2025, which explores the profound impact of Vincent van Gogh on Kiefer’s artistic practice. Bringing together these two visionary artists for the first time in the UK, this highly anticipated show will mark a major year for Kiefer, as he presents several exhibitions internationally in celebration of his extraordinary six-decade career.

The exhibition will include paintings and drawings by Van Gogh, on loan from the renowned Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, alongside paintings, drawings, and sculptures by Kiefer, including new work that has never been shown before.

Art in Mayfair also runs alongside the Royal Academy’s annual Summer Exhibition and continues to champion the area's status as a hub for world-class art, design, and fashion. The Kiefer flag installation invites visitors to engage with fine art beyond the Royal Academy’s walls in a truly immersive urban experience.
