100 Years of Photography and Abstract Art

— until 14.10.18

Shape of Light is an exhibition about ‘100 Years of Photography and Abstract Art’, and how photographers responded and contributed to the development of abstraction. The birth of abstract art and the invention of photography were both defining moments in modern visual culture, so the Tate Modern brings them together. Vintage prints from pioneers like Paul Strand, László Moholy- Nagy and Man Ray are shown alongside abstract paintings, sculptures and installations by, for example; Georges Braque, Jackson Pollock, Carl Andre and Bridget Riley.
