Charline von Heyl

24 February — 27 May 2012

Discover the work of acclaimed contemporary artist Charline von Heyl in this brand new exhibition.

Distinctive, imaginative and always surprising, Charline von Heyl’s work offers a fresh and exciting approach to the world of abstract art. Von Heyl is at the forefront of a new generation of abstract painters who have rejected late modernism’s emphasis on a singular signature style. Charline von Heyl at Tate Liverpool will be the first major exhibition of the artist’s work in the UK. Featuring forty two of her large canvasses and a number of unique works on paper, the exhibition explores von Heyl’s work from 1990-2011.

Any age

DLA Piper Series: This is Sculpture

1 May 2011 — 1 April 2012 *on now

DLA Piper Series: This is Sculpture takes an ambitious and revolutionary look at the history of modern and contemporary sculpture. This new Tate collection display continues to examine and question the trajectory of artistic innovation in twentieth-century art and beyond.

Sculpture in the form of object, installation, assemblage and ready-made will sit alongside more surprising forms, such as painting, video, photography, language and performance.

Artist Lecture Series: Charline von Heyl

24 February 2012

In this ‘Tate-Hope’ lecture Charline von Heyl will discuss the evolution of her work and her position in relation to contemporary art practice.
Von Heyl's work takes cues from high art and popular culture, as well as from the slipstream of cultural oddities found around eccentric Internet sites. She does not begin with a pre-conceived idea, allowing her paintings to be determined rather by the decisions that arise in the process of their making. Includes Q&A.

Suitable for

18+
Not suitable for children

When

6:30-8pm

Where

Please note that this talk takes place at The Great Hall, The Cornerstone, Liverpool Hope University, Creative Campus, Haigh Street, Liverpool, L3 8QB.
