Choice: The critics

EXHIBITIONS

Africa The central show of last year's Africa 95 season, and far and away the most successful. Tom Phillips, the artist/curator, pulled off a memorable tour de force. Don't miss your last chance to see this essential survey. Royal Academy, London W1

David Hockney It is 30 years since the lad from Bradford rose meteor- like to the top. Over that time he has experimented with everything from photo-collage to fax machine. A constant inspiration, however, has been drawing, and here are some of his best. Royal Academy, London W1

Art and Power (left) Last week in which to catch this show charting the impact on art of the three key European totalitarian nations of the 1930s. Official art from Germany, Italy and Russia, alongside the work of "degenerate" artists. Hayward Gallery, London SE1
