PHILIP TREACY DISPLAY

World renowned hat maker Philip Treacy is the latest celebrated cultural figure to collaborate with Tate Liverpool curators as part of DLA Piper Series: This is Sculpture.  His display Conversation Pieces features artworks from Treacy’s own private collection alongside specially selected works from the Tate collection.

Treacy’s selection explores the human form and human relations, mirroring in some ways his own design process. Works by Francis Bacon and Dorothy Cross representing the human figure are shown alongside the emotive abstract works of Joan Mitchell and Jackson Pollack. Central to the display and exhibition design are two artist films by Simon Martin and Haluk Akakce. Dramatic, playful and quirky, they demonstrate Treacy's humour, avant-garde interests and Pop sensibilities. Additional highlights include works by Vanessa Beecroft, Ellsworth Kelly and Andy Warhol.
