How her paintings have the limitations of bodies
Painting pushed into new places at Victoria Miro and The Approach and seismic shifts at asprey jacques as the Chapmans explore their feminine side at Modern Art
The evergreen aesthetic attraction of nothingness is explored and Anish Kapoor’s book replaces a vanished work
Unsettling excesses at Stephen Friedman and various ponderings on places and no-places at Milch, Corvi Mora, Timothy Taylor and Emily Tsingou
These works of art take a global perspective and are literally geologically based
Epic list-making at Gagosian and a sombre investigation of society at the Lisson
In the meantime, ignore false reports of a Britart movie
Disillusioned and sick of heavy-handed art that tries to shock, the artist has now turned to kitsch and sentimental themes
Meanwhile, Tracey Emin pushes up the bids in Islington, and there are rumblings at the Royal Academy
The relationship between the generic and the individual is at the heart of Opie’s digitally produced work
Increased attendance, sales, and quality marks a good year for the fair
Cities provide the context for many of the 20th century’s most important innovations, but are also environments in which literature, music, art and thought merge, split or collide with one another. Tate Modern’s first major exhibition since opening ambitiously comprises nine sections, 13 curators and 1,500 works spread over two floors. The display combines the scale and global scope of an international biennial with the historical perspective of art’s most varied century

Iconic interiors at Gagosian, pucker and slide at Mummery, some great British grub at Holdsworth, painterly lavatory walls at Anthony Reynolds, strange girlish doodles at Cabinet, while Vic Reeves turns artist at Percy Miller
Tate Modern continues to dominate the London scene, but gets spread around in more ways than it bargained for
Meanwhile there is clutter in the Cabinet, recent Kossoffs at Annely Juda, and randomised exactitude at Corvi-Mora
Leaving an after-Tate
Sadie Coles in an eastward position, the Lisson and Tim Taylor times two, photography at Frith Street and Maureen Paley, plus powerful juju at Anthony Reynolds
An exclusive interview with The Art Newspaper about the closely guarded secret: the thinking behind how the Tate Modern has arranged its art
Andrew Mummery powers up in a new gallery, Victoria Miro provides a sneak preview of her new space , and a Volkswagen van invades a front room in Camberwell
The number two position at Tate Modern might satisfy most curators but Blazwick has given it up to direct the Whitechapel Art Gallery
Victoria Miro is moving to a nice area and Gagosian is heading for Heddon Street
Gagosian opens in London, Art goes underground in Waterloo and at home in Camberwell
Maurizio Cattelan kicks out at English football, Paolini frames “the author” at the Lisson Gallery and Halley sticks to paint
