Exhibition
Postmodernism: Style and Subversion 1970 – 1990
September 24–January 15
Victoria and Albert Museum, V&A South Kensington, Cromwell Road, London, England SW7 2RL
Postmodernism: Style and Subversion 1970 – 1990 will include over 250 objects across all genres of art and design. The exhibition, curated by Glenn Adamson and Jane Pavitt, will be the first in-depth survey of postmodern art, design and architecture of the 1970s and 1980s. It will examine how postmodernism evolved from a provocative architectural movement in the early 1970s that challenged the orthodoxies of modernism, to a movement that influenced all areas of popular culture including art, film, music, graphics and fashion.
