'85 New Wave is an exhibition that takes a step back from this commercial fray to examine a unique episode of art history when China began reinventing its own culture. The 1980s in China represented a kind of explosive answer to the Cultural Revolution of the 1960s and 70s. The result of this explosive reaction was the '85 New Wave Movement.

In this exhibition, the most comprehensive ever of the work of Leonard Freed (1929  - 2006), the viewer is immediately struck by the versatility of this committed photographer. On the one hand he was preoccupied by themes like war, revolution, misery and poverty, while on the other he seemed drawn to a completely different side of life: day-to-day issues like friendship, love and the mystery of birth and death. Many of his pictures have become icons of photographic history.

Many of the 15th- and early 16th-century German paintings in the National Gallery have been removed from the ecclesiastical contexts for which they were designed. Frequently these settings also included brilliantly coloured, boldly designed and exquisitely made stained glass windows. This exhibition brings together some of the finest examples of German stained glass from this period and puts them next to a selection of National Gallery paintings from the same period and regions of Germany. Also featured are some surviving examples of designs for stained glass.
