First published to accompany a group exhibition at Piano Nobile, Aspects
of Post-War Abstraction 1952-2002, this fully color illustrated
catalogue showcases seminal works of abstract art produced in Britain
over the course of five decades.
The publication features the work of internationally renowned artists
including Terry Frost, William Scott, William Turnbull, Joe Tilson,
William Crozier, Jack Smith, John Golding, William Pye, Anthony Caro,
John Hoyland, Bridget Riley, and Anish Kapoor. Lavishly illustrated
throughout, the catalogue presents exceptional paintings and sculptures,
created by artists in dialogue with contemporaries and predecessors in
Britain, and diverse international centers of abstraction.
Highlighting pivotal artistic moments of transition and transformation
in abstraction over the course of a half century, the catalogue presents
an innovative vision of the international contribution of post-war
British abstract art.
