This exhibition draws on Tate Britain's superb collection of
works from the period, along with loans from the National Gallery of
Victoria in Melbourne, and Auckland's own collection. The show is
particularly appropriate as the 1960s saw the opening up of access
to Europe and America allowing a broader group of antipodeans to
experience London first-hand.
Art & the 60s from Tate Britain tracks the changes that
took place between 1956 and the end of the sixties. The new culture
broke down the barriers between music, fashion, advertising and art,
creating a common vernacular language. While the period gave new
meaning to style, not all art was flippant, especially after the
political protests of 1968. Underlying the slick mechanical
production techniques and the collage effects was a serious desire
to question society, to draw attention to the way technical advances
affect the way we perceive and live in the world.
