The exhibition, YBA & Beyond: British Art in the 90s from the Tate Collection will be held at the National Art Center, Tokyo (Roppongi) from February 11 to May 11, 2026. Following the Tokyo show, the exhibition will travel to the Kyoto City KYOCERA Museum of Art in June 2026.

This exhibition, organised in collaboration with Tate, will present a comprehensive look at the groundbreaking artistic practices that emerged in Britain during the 1990s, drawing primarily from Tate’s renowned collection. Featuring around 100 works by approximately 60 artists, it explores how the creative energy of the decade left a profound and lasting impact on the global art scene.

On view will be works by a diverse group of artists including Damien Hirst, Julian Opie, Lubaina Himid, Steve McQueen, Tracey Emin, and Wolfgang Tillmans and many others  —figures who rose to prominence in the socially and politically charged atmosphere that followed the Thatcher era. Their experimental approaches, spanning painting, sculpture, photography, moving image, and installation, address themes ranging from popular culture to personal narratives and shifting social structures.

Further details about the exhibition will be announced here in due course and on social media channels.
