Alan Uglow: From Britain to America

Expanded Paper first prepared for the conference "British Abstract Painting in the Eighties" which took place at the Herbert Museum and Art Gallery, Coventry, on 14 September 2018.

The British painter Alan Uglow left London in 1969 to permanently live in New York where he became associated with the development of post-minimalist painting. This article focuses on the artist’s development in Britain during the late 1950s and 1960s, arguing that aspects of British culture, the artistic debates of the time and the teaching that Uglow experienced in Britain all had a lasting impact on the rest of his career.
