Yep, it’s Monday again … But fear not: there are plenty of amazing art-related events and exhibitions to sustain you until next weekend. Plus, the weather forecast promises plenty of sunshine and mild temperatures, so what’s not to like?

Picking the right event is key, however, and artnet News is here to help. If you are in London this week, these are the hot tickets.

WEDNESDAY April 15

“The EY Exhibition: Sonia Delaunay” Opens at Tate Modern

If you only make it to one exhibition this week, it should definitely be the brilliant retrospective of avant-garde legend Sonia Delaunay (1885-1979).

This exhaustive exhibition has been organized by Tate Modern in collaboration with the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, where it was exhibited last winter to great acclaim.

Born in Ukraine and trained in Germany, Delaunay moved to Paris in 1906, where she married the artist Robert Delaunay. Together with him and other collaborators, Delaunay developed Orphism, an art movement that brought color back to the increasingly monochromatic Cubism. The generous use of color is one of the movement’s key features, as its practitioners saw color as an essential source of meaning.

Delaunay, thus, painted in that vein, and the exhibition at Tate Modern offers ample examples of her vibrant pictorial oeuvre. But what makes her work so special is that she didn’t confine it to the fine art realm, embracing instead the possibilities of expression afforded by the then-booming worlds of design and fashion.

Tapestry, textiles, mosaics, garments, household items … The daring artistic vision of Delaunay—a true feminist avant la lettre—knew no bounds, and this retrospective at Tate Modern is proof of how uncompromising and incredibly modern her work still looks today.

“The EY Exhibition: Sonia Delaunay,” will be on view at Tate Modern, London, from April 15-August 9 2015.

If you are hungry for more, here are the other three highlights of the week:

Carol Bove’s “The Plastic Unit” opens at David Zwirner London

This will be Bove’s first exhibition at the prestigious gallery, and it will feature a group of  large-scale new works by the Swiss-born, New York-based artist. Mixing industrial materials—such as stainless steel and metal curtains—with organic ones, like shells, and peacock feathers, Bove creates delicate and fascinating assemblages (see Carol Bove Sheds New Light on Architect Carlo Scarpa in a Joint Exhibition at the Henry Moore Institute and 12 Must-Read Tips for a Successful Career in the Art World).
“The Plastic Unit” will be on view at David Zwirner, 24 Grafton Street, London, from April 14 – May 30. Private view: Monday, April 13, 6-8pm.
