HAYWARD GALLERY
The Hayward was opened on 9 July 1968 within London’s Southbank Centre but since 2011 Hayward Gallery has been its official designation. From its opening until 1986 the Arts Council of Great Britain ran it when the gallery was also the home of most of the vast collection of the Arts Council which is now largely distributed to museums and art galleries across the UK. In 1986 its management passed to Southbank Centre. The Hayward Gallery hosts three or four major temporary exhibitions of modern or contemporary artworks each year, shows have included Edvard Munch (1863-1944) and Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) as well as various French Impressionist and the works of British sculptor Antony Gormley (1950-) and American minimalist artist Dan Flavin (1933–1996) who employs coloured fluorescent light bulbs and tubes in his work. Suffolk artists who have exhibited at the Hayward Gallery include Francis Douglas Davison, Sargy Mann, Christopher Henry Pemberton, Monica Petzal, Lawrence Self and Peter Turley.
