LIVERPOOL.- Tate Liverpool has collaborated with world renowned hat designer Philip Treacy OBE for the latest instalment of the gallery’s popular run of Tate Collection displays, DLA Piper Series: This is Sculpture. Treacy worked with Tate Liverpool’s Head of Exhibitions and Displays, Gavin Delahunty, to select works from the Tate Collection for the new display entitled Conversation Pieces. Conversation Pieces reflects the designer’s knowledge of the Tate Collection, from which he has chosen works in a range of media by prominent and lesser known artists. Treacy’s selection has a concern with human form and human relations, mirroring in some way his own design process. Works by Francis Bacon, Don Brown and Dorothy Cross representing the human figure will be shown alongside the emotive abstraction of Joan Mitchell, Hélio Oiticica and Jackson Pollock.
