Dialogue with Turner: The Sublime Echo is the largest exhibition of its kind organized by the Tate Gallery, making its Asian debut at the Pudong Art Museum with over a hundred sets of works, approximately 80 of which are original oil paintings and watercolors by Turner. Some pieces have been specially shipped from London to Shanghai, exclusively for Chinese audiences. The exhibition is divided into eight sections according to Turner’s creative themes, spanning the first and third exhibition halls, covering his entire creative career. It comprehensively showcases the artistic development and stylistic changes of Turner during his various significant periods, with many works making their debut in China, allowing viewers to intimately experience the extraordinary artistic charm of this ‘genius painter’. The museum will also specially create an immersive space, presenting a custom-made Turner documentary by the Tate for the Pudong Art Museum, taking the audience on a journey with Turner through his works. Concurrently, the exhibition cleverly intersperses works by more than ten renowned contemporary artists, including Katie Paterson, Richard Long, Olafur Eliasson, Roni Horn, Peter Doig, and Wolfgang Tillmans, reflecting the interplay between Turner and providing a 21st-century interpretation of the concept of ‘sublime’, which originated in the 18th century, and creating Asia’s first dialogue exhibition between Turner and the artists influenced by him. The exhibition is open from October 1st to May 10th, with specific business hours subject to daily opening conditions.
