Alan Charlton – Richard Long
Long is recognised as one of the pioneers of so-called Land Art, an art movement since the 1960s that interprets the landscape as a site for work, exhibition and experience. Alan Charlton, on the other hand, is one of the most radical painters of his generation. He characterises himself as a man who creates grey paintings.
In dialogue, Long’s and Charlton’s works deploy a spectrum of the central questions of the art of their epoch: the search for new possibilities for art beyond academic traditions and institutional constraints. The double exhibition of Alan Charlton and Richard Long will be realised with holdings from the museum’s own collection and selected loans.
