At The Edge British Art 1950 – 2000
A new touring exhibition arrived at the Harris Museum on Friday.
At The Edge British Art 1950 – 2000 explores work by some of the ground breaking artists of the 20th century and looks at the stories behind the collections. Much of the art on display was controversial at the time and the exhibition asks what we make of the artwork today. Features work from Henry Moore, Lucian Freud, Laura Ford amongst others.

Born in sunny Preston, lived in Brighton and London. Enjoy documenting mine and my son's travels around the parks and streets of Preston, writing about anything arts, travel or film related. Like meeting quirky characters, passionate people and earwigging other people's conversations. Also pen a fictional online diary under a different name, its occasionally published in the LEP & makes me chuckle every time I write it! Contact me at lisa@blogpreston.co.uk
A very interesting collection of artwork. I’m not sure what ties them together, apart from a progression through time. but each individual piece stands on it’s own, and any would be worth a visit to the Harris for.
