Jenny Holzer
Opens: 05/03/2010 Closes: 16/05/2010

Kingdom of Ife: Sculptures from West Africa
Opens: 04/03/2010 Closes: 06/06/2010
British Museum, London
The ancient Kingdom of Ife has produced some of Africa's most remarkable art. The masterpieces currently on display at the British Museum are so skilfully executed that, upon discovery, they were thought not to be African. One hundred years on and Britain, thankfully, is little more enlightened.

Henry Moore
Opens: 24/02/2010 Closes: 08/08/2010
Tate Britain, London
About as much of an institution as you can get in art terms (well, there’s a foundation in his name), Henry Moore's career helped define 20th-century sculpture. This comprehensive new show gets right up close to his fascination with war, sexuality and primitivism.
