Even now, in the midst of a resurgence of interest in abstract painting, it is unlikely the work in this exhibition will
get the
attention it
deserves, yet any direct comparison with the Contemporary abstract art that
today receives plaudits will confirm that the bold and lucid organizations of, for example, Gouk's Sea Horse Tenacity 1, Foster's Three Cornered, or Smart's Tamarind 5, are superior still.1 And whilst I'm in this territory, just look at how much more active, three - dimensional and downright sculptural Foster's use of I - beams in Three Cornered is, compared to anything Caro ever did with them.
