Event Description : 
EXHIBITION : Show of Art Collection


Background Note :
The works on display as part of the British Council collection will cover various influences in British art. It will start with the iconic designs of 1920s London Underground posters, which brought avant-garde art movements to a mass audience. Moving into another decade, Eduardo Paolozzi brings us to the 1960s and the beginning of Pop art, which was further developed by Patrick Caulfield. The work of Tom Philips introduces process based art of the 1970s and Adrian Wiszniewski the ‘New Glasgow Boys’ of the 1980s. In the 1990s, David Hepher and Howard Hodgkin both, very differently, explored ideas of place combining figurative and abstract elements, a theme later visited by Hurvin Anderson. Photography is then touched upon with some rare colour works by Fay Godwin. In the 21st century, the works of Damien Hirst, Marc Quinn and Mark Wallinger represent the success of a generation of artists showcased in the Royal Academy’s Sensation exhibition, which introduced ‘Young British Artists’ to the world. To round-off the collection, the London 2012 Olympic posters will showcase work by some of the most contemporary and celebrated artists in Britain today.
