The early twentieth century was groundbreaking for its innovation, and the pioneering artistic movements such as Constructivism and De Stijl, were equally revolutionary. Here, we bring together works by some of the most important Modernist Pioneers in the twentieth-century avant-garde, such as Naum Gabo, Antoine Pevnser, Alexander Rodchenko and Kurt Schwitters.
Works have been hung in our gallery and the installation can be viewed via the below images, video and 360 degree tour. Click on individual works for further images and provenance information.
