GRAPHIC-ART EXHIBITION AT CITY HALL
**
The Urban Council and the American Consulate-General are co-sponsoring
an exhibition of original graphic prints by leading American artists entitled "Graphics Now U.S.A." at the City Museum and Art Gallery from Friday (August 25)
until September 10.
Works on display include a wide range of techniques, and include
61 etchings, lithographs, screenprints and woodcuts by American painters,
sculptors and printmakers.
The exhibition also illustrates some of the current trends in the
American art scene with examples of Pop Art, Op Art, Hard-edge and lyrical
Abstractionism.
A special section of the exhibition is devoted to contemporary
photographs from the collection of the Eastman House, New York. This shows
many new approaches in the creative use of the medium of photography.
Note to Editors:
A preview of the exhibition will be held tomorrow (August 24) from 5.30 p.m. to 7 p.m. and you are welcome to send a reporter and/or photographer to attend the function.
