White Cube Mason's Yard to Open Emma Reyes Exhibition with Curatorial Walkthrough on September 3
The Facts
On August 12, 2026, White Cube announced a curatorial walkthrough led by Stéphanie Cottin to mark the opening of an exhibition of works by Franco-Colombian artist Emma Reyes (1919–2003) at its Mason’s Yard gallery in London. The walkthrough will take place on September 3, 2026, from 5:30 to 6 p.m. Cottin, a French independent curator and president of the Emma Reyes Foundation, is a leading authority on the artist and is currently compiling the catalogue raisonné of Reyes’s work. She has previously curated Reyes exhibitions, including a retrospective at Maison des Arts d’Antony, France (2022), a solo show at MAMCO, Geneva (2023–24), and a six-month focus as part of 'Pollen' at CAPC, Bordeaux (2025). The exhibition at White Cube will feature works such as 'Untitled (1992)' and is part of the gallery’s ongoing program.
The Signal
The presentation at White Cube represents a significant step in the institutional rehabilitation of Emma Reyes, whose early career was overshadowed by her later fame as a writer. For collectors, the exhibition signals increasing attention to Reyes’s visual practice, with the forthcoming catalogue raisonné likely to anchor valuation and attribution. White Cube’s involvement, alongside Cottin’s scholarly stewardship, may help position Reyes within the broader canon of Latin American modernism and boost secondary market demand for her works.
