Ben Uri shines spotlight on American-born artists in new exhibition

Artdaily, 5 October 2025
Following last year’s wide-ranging exhibition, Us: From There to Here, exploring diverse immigrant artists from the Ben Uri Collection, this display returns the focus to a single country of origin, highlighting selected artists born in the USA. In contrast to their European counterparts, often fleeing war, persecution or otherwise displaced in the first half of the twentieth century, these artists made voluntary journeys for professional, personal or educational reasons, predominantly after the Second World War.
