Get A Culture Fix:
Andy Warhol: Beyond The Brand
From his Campbell’s soup cans to his fluorescent Marilyns, Andy Warhol is a defining modern artist. Mayfair’s Halycon Gallery has just extended its Andy Warhol: Beyond The Brand exhibition, and it’s worth getting down there while you still can. There are rare works from throughout his career, alongside works from contemporaries including Basquiat and Keith Haring.

Savile Row stalwart Richard James has dressed celebs from Prince William to Stormzy. For the rest of us, he’s opened a flagship store on Clifford Street, just around the corner from menswear’s most famous street. The two-floor, £2m ‘House of Richard James’ is the place to go for bespoke and made-to-measure pieces – it showcases the designer’s daring signature style, and heralds a brighter future for the traditional suit.

See A Show:
Harry Clarke
Billy Crudup (No Man’s Land, The Morning Show, Almost Famous) stars in Harry Clarke, a play arriving at the Ambassadors Theatre this week – with Crudup playing 19 characters in its 80-minutes run time. The play follows a Midwestern man who is masquerading as a suave Londoner to charm his way into the upper echelons of New York society. It has touches of Saltburn, The Talented Mr Ripley and Parasite – so if you liked them, you’ll like this.
West Street, West End, WC2H 9ND; 9th March-11th May
