Summary
The last major collective Abstract Expressionism exhibition in the UK took place in 1959. This publication, and the exhibition it accompanies, examines the origins of the movement and seeks to re-evaluate it, recognising its complex and fluid reality, and encompassing sculptors as well as some of the most famous painters of the twentieth century.
