This exhibition celebrates the abstract and constructed art made and exhibited in Britain since 1951 with works from the collection of the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, University of East Anglia. Encompassing sculpture, reliefs, mobiles, painting, drawing and printmaking, the exhibition spans work from the beginning of the 1950s to the present-day.
Artists include:
Robert Adams, Lygia Clark, Anthony Hill, Kenneth Martin, Mary Martin, François Morellet, Victor Pasmore, Takis, Mary Webb, Victor Vasarely, Gillian Wise and Li Yuan-Chia.
The exhibition marks a significant bequest to the Sainsbury Centre by collectors Joyce and Michael Morris; many works will be exhibited in public for the first time in decades.
Kids can pick up an Arts Investigator pack from the gallery for some fun activities to enjoy as you walk around! You can also check out our gallery challenges page to see what extra fun you can get from the gallery.
