Tate Britain’s exhibition The 90s: Art and Fashion opened in London on 8 October 2026, bringing together work that explores the connections between art, photography and fashion in 1990s Britain. Curated by Edward Enninful, the show is scheduled to run through 14 February 2027.
The exhibition presents more than 100 works by nearly 70 artists, photographers and designers, according to Tate’s press release. Its focus is on the ways creative fields intersected during the decade, rather than on providing a definitive survey of 1990s culture.
A decade viewed through creative connections
The exhibition’s title points to a broad period, but its stated scope is specific: the relationships among art, photography and fashion in Britain. That framing makes the show a look at overlapping creative practices, rather than a comprehensive account of every strand of the decade’s culture.
A Guardian gallery published on the exhibition’s opening day describes the show through images and includes the phrase “The weirdos were taking over!” The dossier identifies that line as a quotation from Jarvis Cocker. It should be read as a quoted reference within the gallery, not as a claim that the exhibition is centered exclusively on Cocker or his band, Pulp.
The exhibition is curated by Enninful, who is named in both the Guardian gallery and Tate’s release. The materials summarized in the research identify the show’s scale and subject, but do not provide a complete object list or explain how individual works are arranged in the galleries.
On view through February
The exhibition opened on 8 October 2026 and is due to close on 14 February 2027. The Guardian’s opening-day coverage and a separate Sotheby’s listing report the same venue and dates, corroborating the exhibition’s schedule.
The available information supports a concise account of the exhibition’s subject, curator, scale and run. It does not establish a fuller interpretation of the works or their effect on visitors, so those aspects are not described here.
