9. PERMANENT
COLLECTION

10. MATERIAL GESTURES
(LEVEL 3 – EAST WING)
At the heart of this wing is a
room devoted to painting and
sculpture from the 1940s and
1950s, showing how new forms
of abstraction and expressive
figuration emerged in post-war
Europe and America. The
surrounding displays suggest
affinities between the radical
innovations of this era and the
work of earlier artists, but also
show the legacy of those
ideas among contemporary
practitioners who have
continued to develop the
language of art in new and
unexpected ways. On display
until 23 October 2011

14. POETRY AND DREAM
(LEVEL 3 – WEST WING)
The displays in Poetry
and Dream show how
contemporary art grows
from, reconnects
with, and can provide
fresh insights into the art
of the past. The large
room at the heart of the
wing is devoted to
Surrealism, while the
surrounding displays look
at other artists who, in
different ways, have
responded to or
diverged from
Surrealism, or explored
related themes such as
the world of dreams, the
unconscious and
archetypal myth.

18. STATES OF FLUX
(LEVEL 5 – WEST WING)
The central space of this
wing is devoted to the
early twentieth-century
movements
Cubism, Futurism and
Vorticism. These avant-
garde artists broke with
traditional ideas of
picture making, seeking
a more dynamic and
fractured visual
language to represent
the complex reality of
modern life and the
machine age.

central room focuses on
sculpture of the late 1960s
made from a diverse
range of everyday
materials - sometimes
industrial, sometimes
organic - rather than
those associated with fine
art.
