Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Contemporary Print Show
Once again the Barbican plays host to this unique art fair, the only one of its kind to offer only contemporary prints. This year's highlights include new works by Bruce McLean and Peter Blake at Coriander Studio, Paula Rego and Victor Pasmore at Marlborough Graphics, and Ray Richardson and Albert Irvin at Advanced Graphics.
From Fri to 22 Apr. Concourse Gallery, Barbican Centre, London EC2 (0171- 638 4141)
Josef Albers
The man who once described his work as "my nonsense", and whose influence can still be perceived today, is honoured with an exhibition of some 46 works, including paintings from the famous "Homage to the Square" series, "Structural Constellations" and rare works on paper on loan from the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation in Connecticut, USA.
From Thurs to 18 May. Waddington Galleries, London W1 (0171-437 8611)
John Deakin
A fascinating show of the photographs of Deakin, contemporary of Francis Bacon and fellow Soho-ite, offering an insight into the bewitching demi- monde inhabited during the Fifties and Sixties by such as Bacon, Freud and the late Michael Andrews. A unique piece of social history which should not be missed.
From Fri to 14 July. National Portrait Gallery, London WC2 (0171-306 0055)
