FIELDTRIP - TATE LIVERPOOL

TATE LIVERPOOL COLOUR CHART – RE-INVENTING COLOUR 1950 TO TODAY.

While in Liverpool, Keith and Mark of Absolute Zero Degrees spent time in Albert Dock at Tate Liverpool.

Tate Liverpool website introduces the exhibition:
“Colour Chart: Reinventing Colour, 1950 to Today takes the commercial colour chart as its point of departure, addressing the impact of mass-produced colour on the art of the past sixty years. It is the first major exhibition devoted to the shifting moment in twentieth-century art when artists began to perceive colour as ‘readymade’ rather than as a vehicle of spiritual or emotional content.”

Featured are the works of Damien Hirst, Andy Warhol – (we haven’t seen so many Marilyn’s in a room before) – Daniel Buren (who we featured in our Stripes book)

The exhibition runs until Sept 13th 2009.
