Eduardo Paolozzi: Collaging Culture
Eduardo Paolozzi (1924 - 2005) was one of the most inventive and prolific of the British artists who came to prominence after the Second World War.
Collage was central to his methods, both as printmaker and sculpture. Indeed, he once stated that ‘all human experience is one big collage', which was particularly true for his own life.
This exhibition draws on the extensive selection of Paolozzi works in Pallant House Gallery's Collection and includes drawings, prints and sculpture from throughout his career.
