'Colour Chart: Reinventing Colour, 1950 to Today' at Tate Liverpool

29 May — 13 September 2009 *on now

Book now for this rich and vibrant exhibition which will include works by more than forty artists, including Ellsworth Kelly, Andy Warhol, Frank Stella, Yves Klein, Richard Serra, Dan Flavin, Damien Hirst, Jim Lambie and Angela Bulloch.
At a time of unprecedented interest in the role of colour in graphic design, fashion and interior design, Tate Liverpool will present 'Colour Chart: Reinventing Colour, 1950 to Today'. The exhibition looks at the moment in twentieth century art when a group of artists began to perceive colour as 'readymade' rather than as scientific or expressive.
