Good news today on the artdaily.com website, the Hayward Gallery is to present “How to Improve the World: 60 years of British Art” a collection of 150 works of art from 100 British artists including, Francis Bacon, Patrick Caulfield, Jeremy Deller, Lucian Freud, Gilbert & George, Liam Gillick, Mona Hatoum, Barbara Hepworth, Susan Hiller, Damien Hirst, David Hockney, Anish Kapoor, Richard Long, Sarah Lucas, Henry Moore, Chris Ofili, Bridget Riley, Mark Titchner and Cerith Wyn Evans.

The art is taken from the Arts Council collection and features the highlights of 60 years of modern and contemporary art and is curated by Michael Archer and Roger Malbert. Definitely one I must see despite being rubbished by Martin Gayford on the Bloomberg site as “…one of the most dismal installations I have ever seen.”

The exhibition runs until 19th November.
