Leonora Carrington, Remedios Varo and Kati Horna - an English painter, a Spanish painter and a Hungarian photographer - met in Mexico City in 1943. All three had recently fled war-torn Europe and together they shared memories of Paris, Surrealism, the Spanish Civil War, and the outbreak of World War II.
Surreal Friends, celebrates the friendship of these three women. It represents the first substantial display of Carringon's work in Britain for 19 years, and the first ever comprehensive showing of works by her friends Varo and Horna in the UK.
