From 6 September 2024, 45 Park Lane will hold an exhibition that explores the life and works of influential Abstract Expressionist artist Albert Irvin OBE RA HRWA (1922-2015). Curated in collaboration with Ackerman Studios and Donald Smith.
This exhibition will bring together key pieces from Irvin’s extraordinary body of work from the early 1970s – a period when his large-scale canvas works, with their signature high-colour and energetic mark-making, were not only pivotal to his development but also influential in the transformation of the British art scene of that and later decades. Also included are gentle watercolours that he worked on throughout the ‘70s along with breathtaking canvases from the ‘90s. The exhibition culminates in joyful, vibrant acrylics and technically complex, colourful original prints from the last decade of his life.
