Tate Britain presents the most extensive retrospective of Lee Miller’s photography ever staged in the UK, celebrating her as one of the 20th century’s most compelling artistic voices. Initially exposed to photography from the other side of the lens as a sought-after model in the late 1920s, Miller soon moved behind the camera, becoming a leading figure in avant-garde circles across New York, Paris, London, and Cairo.

The exhibition traces Miller’s extraordinary career, from her involvement in French surrealism to her groundbreaking fashion and war photography. It also highlights lesser-known aspects of her work, including her striking images of the Egyptian landscape in the 1930s, and explores her artistic collaborations throughout her life.

Featuring around 250 vintage and modern prints, including works never before exhibited, the show reveals Miller’s poetic vision and fearless spirit. As she once remarked, “It was a matter of getting out on a damn limb and sawing it off behind you".
