CURRENT EXHIBITION

New Generation Revisited

May 10, 2008—September 7, 2008

The New Art Centre is pleased to announce a major new exhibition of British sculpture from the sixties and seventies, sited throughout the sculpture park and the two award-winning exhibition spaces. This exhibition will be an opportunity to introduce one of the most important movements of British sculpture to a new audience and also an occasion for those who remember the work to revisit it. We are showing sculpture by David Annesley, Michael Bolus, Phillip King, Roland Piché, Tim Scott, William Tucker and Isaac Witkin, as well as work by Antony Donaldson, Francis Morland and Jules Olitski.

The exhibition will be a tribute to Bryan Robertson who was perhaps the most inspirational and far-sighted curator of his day; he was a frequent visitor to Roche Court. Bryan Robertson ran the Whitechapel from 1952 to 1968, and was described by Studio International as "the greatest director the Tate Gallery never had". His show New Generation in 1965 was responsible for introducing a group of sculptors who broke new ground exploiting revolutionary technologies and innovative acrylic paints to explore the relationship between colour and form.
