BSL Tour of Ed Clark

Join Jason Tennant for a free British Sign Language tour of Ed Clark.

When: Sunday 18 August 2024, 2.00 – 3.00pm

Please meet on the balcony.

The Exhibition

Turner Contemporary presents the first institutional exhibition in Europe dedicated to pioneering artist Ed Clark (1926-2019). The exhibition unites paintings and works on paper from the 1940s to 2000s, including loans from The Art Institute of Chicago, Brooklyn Museum and Detroit Institute of Arts, many of which have not been seen outside the USA.

Though late to receive international acclaim, Clark’s contributions to contemporary art were significant, notably through his innovative push broom technique and shaped canvases. Today, Clark is recognised as a groundbreaking figure within the New York School of Abstraction.
