Abstract

For many photographers and members of the public serious photographic art means black and white prints. The term 'chocolate box' as a description of a colour view has usually meant a disparaging comparison to the slick and saturated colour photography of advertising and travel brochures. Over the past five years the Gallery has acquired a number of works from the 1930s to the present. The exhibition Colour and Concept looks at new acquisitions of colour works as well as older works in colour by conceptual artists. [Gallery media, 2002].
