26 July - 2 September 2007
The Edinburgh Art Festival is an affiliation of institutions, galleries and artist-led organisations with a shared commitment to celebrating, presenting and communicating art of the highest quality in Edinburgh during the August festivals. The Edinburgh Art Festival brings together the individual strengths of the city’s visual arts organizations to create a critical mass of activity within a festival framework. By bringing together an international season of visual arts for a wide public, the festival achieves a higher visibility for the participating arts organisations and artists, creating a stronger context for their work.
One of the major themes of this year's programme is Picasso, with 2 major exhibitions of his work. Picasso On Paper at the Dean Gallery and Picasso: Fired with Passion at the National Museum of Scotland.
Other international highlights include a major retrospective of Andy Warhol at the National Gallery Complex. On display is also work by South African artist Wiliam Kentridge at Edinburgh Printmakers, as well as a never-before-seen-in-Scotland collection of photos from American artist William Eggleson.
Well-known UK artists include Nathan Cole, Alex Hartley, David Batchelor, Rachel Whiteread and John Stezaker.
