Patrick Heron |
19 May - 30 September 2018
Tate St Ives | St Ives, UK |
This retrospective exhibition—the first major show of the artist's work in 20 years—celebrates Patrick Heron (1920 - 1999), one of the most significant and innovative figures in the development of post-war abstract art in Britain. |
Spanning over 50 years of work from 1943 to 1996, the exhibition provides a rare opportunity to experience the scope and ambitious scale of Heron's painting as well as his consistent attachment to the subject of color. |
Staged in the new top-lit gallery at Tate St Ives, Patrick Heron provides a succession of spaces and juxtapositions across the full breadth of Heron's career, encouraging a new understanding of his achievement as an artist and the creative processes he followed. |
