Project Space, Floor 2
Drawn from The Courtauld’s significant collection of post-war art, this Project Space display will examine forms of abstraction which emerged in Europe and America in the 1950s and 1960s.
It will explore the radical approaches towards non-representational image making and experimentation with techniques and materials that characterised the work of artists including Philip Guston, Jean Dubuffet, and Joseph Beuys. Many of these works are recent additions to The Courtauld’s collection as gifts and promised gifts from the Karshan collection.
Running alongside the Gallery’s main exhibition, Abstract Erotic: Louise Bourgeois, Eva Hesse, Alice Adams, this display will contribute to a summer season of abstraction at The Courtauld in 2025.
