MEL BOCHNER

Posted on 2011-10-17

One of the founding figures of conceptual art, and one of its most astute critics, Mel Bochner combines colour and language in his work.

The exhibition traces his work over the last 50 years, from the 1960s and 70s and his early installations, wall drawings and works on paper, to his most recent series of exuberant paintings using a thesaurus to generate word chains full of wit and humour.
This is the first major European survey show of the US artist.

Exhibition runs through to December 30th, 2011
