Contemporary British art is now presenting its noticeable quote of inspiration to highly stylized eccentricity, characterised by harsh radical beauty without frills. The intriguing occasion is offered by the exhibition which can be taking spot until 13th September in the Pac in Milan with all the title "Passports. Travelling with art - 75 years of painting, photography and installations from the British Council collection". Hence, it is actually not simply a celebration with the anniversary of this popular British institution, but additionally a way to retrace a journey among the greatest stars of 20th and 21st century British Art.

The selection was challenging: the Irish painter Michael Craig-Martin, who curated the event, has selected about forty renowned works from a collection, the British Council art collection, which boasts more than 8 thousand performs.

The title of your exhibition, "Passports", refers towards the journey made by the works due to the fact they were bought. An actual itinerary in art across international boundaries, which will show to the spectators the passport of every single piece, consisting of all of the museums and galleries which have hosted them over the decades. Documented movements on exhibition. So for instance: the picture Hill Residence by Peter Doig, one of several most extraordinary painters of our days, arrives from South Africa, even though Chris Ofili's function, realised with elephant dung, from Nigeria.

When the British Council's operates, for their fate, travel a lot, they initially cost extremely tiny. Following an precise purchasing policy, the curators with the British institution intercept emerging artists. A couple of examples for everybody: the popular Girl with Roses by Lucian Freud, one of several greatest living figurative painters, was purchased in 1948 for 158 pounds, though Apotryptophanae by Damien Hirst was purchased in 1994 for eight,500 pounds. Both Freud and Hirst are now worth dozens of millions.

Highlight of the performs on view at the PAC is surely the already talked about masterpiece by Lucian Freud Girl with Roses (1947-48), a portrait of Kitty, the artist's initially wife, characterised by a sturdy psychological effect. The operate has been to greater than twenty-five countries at more than eighty exhibitions given that it was bought in 1948 by the British Council.

Unmissable Anish Kapoor, definitely one of several most significant authors in the world modern art scene. His operates, in continuous dialogue involving two-dimensionality and three-dimensionality, have allowed him to gain a prominent part in the New British Sculpture, name with which the critics have designated the new scene of English sculpture which involves artists like Tony Cragg, Richard Deacon, Bill Woodrow and Antony Gormely, all clearly present at the event. A different outstanding presence for his sculptural method is Henry Moore, sublime master of British sculpture.

There is certainly also the provocative and irreverent bad boy of contemporary art, Damien Hirst. The artist from Bristol, who in the age of 44 can currently boast a mind-boggling wealth achieved by immersing the Young British Art into blue formalin, is displaying us with Apotryptophanae a less recognized but extremely intriguing aspect of his art, because despite the scabrous and revolting themes of his most discussed and renowned performs, Hirst is definitely an extraordinarily philosophical and skilful artist, and his compositions are exceptionally elegant, having a great attention for materials and for formal and chromatic values.

"Passports. Travelling with art" is an exceptional overview in which we can also admire the desecrating and ironic art on the Gilbert & George duo, continuing with Douglas Gordon, Richard Long, Sarah Lucas and next towards the images by David Hockney, Frank Auerbach, Graham Sutherland, we are able to appreciate Bridget Riley's optical waves and Sean Scully's grates dominated by a rigorously simple abstractionism.

The exhibition, considered a unique chance to admire the early functions in the fantastic names of modern art made inside the UK, can also be an event to launch "The Fifth Curator", a competition for aspiring curators that will allow the winner to access the British Council's collection to realise an exhibition planned for 10th April 2010 at the Whitechapel in London.
