Victoria Crowe | Decades | Press round-up

24 July 2025

The Scottish Gallery marks Victoria Crowe’s 80th year with Decades. At its heart is a powerful new body of work, supported by a curation of earlier works from the 1960s to the 2010s, offering a richly layered view of Crowe’s evolving practice.

Victoria Crowe | Decades opens at The Scottish Gallery (main exhibition) and Dovecot Studios, Edinburgh, from 31 July –30 August.

We are delighted Decades has received so much press in the run up to the exhibition. Scroll for more…
