SUSPENSE: Twentieth-Century and Contemporary Art in the Ulster Museum Collection.
The Ulster Museum holds one of the most important collections of twentieth-century and contemporary art in the UK and Ireland.
SUSPENSE charts the development of the Museum's collection from the arrival of Modernism following the First World War through to the Colour Field movement in the Post war era featuring Golden Dawn 1958 by Morris Louis and Crystal 1959 by Kenneth Noland.
To complement The Taking of Christ and The Supper at Emmaus, currently on display at the Ulster Museum, works are included that resonate with Caravaggio’s dramatic use of chiaroscuro (light and dark) and exploration of cinematic tension and suspense. Two films of importance are Segura, 2010 by Willie Doherty and Left Right and Centre, 2017 by Cornelia Parker. Both echo Caravaggio’s revolutionary achievements in painting during the early 1600s.
