Private galleries have, in the past few years, been addressing a dire gap in the Singapore art history narrative with ambitious shows. The Private Museum has been flexing at its Upper Wilkie premises with increasingly complex shows such as SG60\u2019s Towards Happiness, Prosperity & Progress: Reflections On The Singapore Spirit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This latest show brings together a multi-generational sprawl of 16 Singapore artists working in abstract art, with the ambition of tracking the evolution of abstraction in art practices here through the 1970s and 1980s.<\/p>\n

Artists featured range from pioneer abstractionist Anthony Poon and sculptor Han Sai Por to younger artists like Ian Woo and Jane Lee.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Info: 11 Upper Wilkie Road; open: 10am to 7pm (Mondays to Fridays), 11am to 5pm (Saturdays and Sundays), public holidays by appointment only. Admission is free. Go to www.theprivatemuseum.org<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n
