"It’s been on my mind – what would something be like if it were unbalanced? It’s been a vexing question for a long time. But it took the experience of working with radical kinds of symmetry, not just a rectangle, but a diamond shape, as well as extreme extensions of shapes, before I finally came to the idea of everything being unbalanced, nothing vertical, nothing horizontal, nothing parallel. I came to the fact that unbalancing has its own order. In a peculiar way it can still end up feeling symmetrical." Kenneth Noland, 1977

Pace London has recently opened an intimately interrelated group show by three of the 20th century’s great abstract artists. Featuring the work of John Hoyland, Anthony Caro and Kenneth Noland, it examines the friendships and connections between the trio and how, through exposure to one another’s art and process, they explored similar concerns of colour, form and material. The exhibition is open until January 16th, leaving plenty of time to stop in and experience these striking works in person.
