Lisson Gallery Artist Bernard Piffaretti Featured in Royal Academy Summer Exhibition
The Royal Academy will present its Summer Exhibition from June 16 to August 23, 2026, featuring works by Christopher Le Brun, Richard Long and Bernard Piffaretti. Ryan Gander has been appointed coordinator of the 2026 edition. The exhibition, running since 1769, surveys contemporary practice across painting, sculpture, photography, film and architecture. Its theme, Interconnectedness, examines entanglement and unexpected connections between disparate elements.
The Signal
Gander's appointment signals continued emphasis on conceptual approaches within the Royal Academy's historic platform. Inclusion of Lisson-represented artist Piffaretti alongside established figures underscores the fair's role in bridging gallery programs with institutional visibility. Collectors and curators may view the show as an indicator of broader market interest in interconnected themes across media.
