Stockwell Depot : 1967-79 Paperback / softback
Paperback / softback
Description
Founded in 1967, Stockwell Depot heralded the emergence of the London artists' studio movement and gained international recognition as a centre for abstraction in Britain.
For over 25 years, this disused former brewery in south London functioned as a cooperative studio and exhibition space.
Artists associated with the Depot - Roland Brener, Jennifer Durrant, David Evison, Katherine Gili, Peter Hide and Roelof Louw, among many others - held differing and often competing attitudes towards art.
The ambitious work made and shown at the Depot tells the story of late modernism in Britain, tracing a period full of formal experimentation and critical debate.
Incorporating interviews with 10 artists alongside a major essay by Sam Cornish, this volume is the first to examine the artists' activities within a historical context and to track their development through the Depot's pivotal annual exhibitions.
Published to coincide with the exhibition Stockwell Depot, 1967-79 at University of Greenwich Galleries, London, 24 July-12 September 2015.
