Tate Liverpool

Colour Chart; re-inventing colour, 1950 to today
After filling ourselves with afternoon tea (mmmmmmm) in the Tate café at the Albert Docks, Liverpool we embarked on our multimedia tour of their latest exhibition, Colour Chart; re-inventing colour, 1950 to today.

Firstly we fully recommend getting the audio tour! In this instance an i-pod touch was handed over, a welcome change from the usual old school voice recorders……… but then the exhibition is in conjunction with the New York museum of contemporary art! Woo Hoo! This also meant it was a full multimedia experience incorporating light, vision, video and sound.

The exhibition is on the whole exceptional and very inspiring, as for any designer colour is paramount to pretty much everything we do.

The installations included versions of Andy Warhol’s electric chair and Marilyn. Some Damien Hirst pieces, a lighting installation be the late Dan Flavin and pieces dating back further to artists such as the revolutionary Yves Klein who had a severe fascination with an over pigmented shade of blue, later know as Yves blue.

Highly recommended and a totally 3-d experience of colour and its visionary’s.

It left me thinking what actually is my favourite colour?
