Artists In The Gate Collection

Gate Gallery is proud to showcase some of the finest pieces of our collection including several Postwar artists from "The Greatest Generation". Postwar art is characterized by a wide variety of artistic styles and movements that emerged after World War II (roughly 1945-70). This period saw significant shifts in artistic expression, as artists sought to break away from traditional conventions and explore new forms of creativity. Postwar art encompassed movements such as Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, Minimalism, and Conceptual Art, among others.  It was a time when artists attempted to re-establish identity and cope with the trauma of the war, the onset of the Cold War, and the shift in the art world center from New York to Paris. The period saw a multitude of movements appear across the continent.

Artists during this time often experimented with unconventional materials and techniques, challenging the established norms of art and embracing a spirit of innovation and experimentation. The period also witnessed the emergence of individual artistic voices, as artists sought to convey their unique perspectives on the rapidly changing world. Overall, postwar art reflects a dynamic and diverse landscape of artistic expression and serves as a testament to the transformative power of art in the wake of historical upheaval.
