The Facts

Tate Publishing will release 'Monet: Painting Time', a book re-examining Claude Monet's relationship with time, on February 25, 2027. The volume coincides with Tate Modern's first exhibition devoted exclusively to Monet, running from February 25 to June 27, 2027. Co-edited by Juliet Bingham, Curator of International Art at Tate Modern, the book features contributions from leading art historians and explores how Monet made time a central subject, using his series like Rouen Cathedrals and Water Lilies to capture the passage of time. The book is available in hardback (£45) and paperback (£35).

The Signal

The publication positions Monet as a pioneer in making time a subject, challenging traditional views of Impressionism as merely capturing fleeting moments. For collectors and curators, the book and exhibition together offer a comprehensive scholarly reappraisal, potentially elevating Monet's standing as a conceptual artist engaged with industrial-era changes. The timing, coinciding with a major museum show, suggests Tate is betting on renewed public and academic interest in Monet's later works and his systematic approach to serial painting.
