Exhibition
The exhibition Adelaide Mid-Century Moderns: Emigrés, mavericks and progressives celebrates the vitality and innovation of the modern movement in Adelaide. This will be the first survey of Adelaide modernism during the 1950s and 1960s, extending from the disruptive impact of the influx of European émigré artists who arrived in Adelaide around 1950, through the heyday of mid-century modernism, to the arrival of Pop and post-painterly abstraction in the late sixties. The exhibition promises to provide a flamboyant, albeit temporary intervention in the decorous time capsule of the Haywards’ period ambience at Carrick Hill.
Curated by Dr Margot Osborne, Adelaide Mid-Century Moderns has been made possible as a result of the generous loan by AGSA of paintings, works on paper and archival material from its collection, including many rarely seen works. These are supplemented by loans from private collections. Artists represented are John Baily, Syd Ball, Charles Bannon, Robert Boynes, Geoff Brown, James Cant, Ian Chandler, Dora Chapman, Lynn Collins, David Dallwitz, John Dallwitz, Lawrence Daws, Ludwik Dutkiwicz, Wladyslaw Dutkiewicz, Barrie Goddard, Barbara Hanrahan, Jacqueline Hick, Franz Kempf, Stan Ostoja-Kotkowski, Charles Reddington, William Salmon, Udo Sellbach, Brian Seidel, Francis Roy Thompson and Geoff Wilson.
