Alan Charlton is the most important British representative of minimalist and conceptual art of the present day. Since his first exhibition in 1972 at the legendary Galerie Konrad Fischer, his artistic work has exclusively comprised monochrome gray color panels, whose formats and serial arrangement are always based on the same dimensional ratio. After numerous historical exhibitions, such as “Prospect 73” at the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf and “Fundamental Painting” at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam in 1975, he was invited to documenta 7 in 1982. Charlton’s works have been shown in major institutions worldwide, including the Tate Gallery in London and the Stedelijk Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven.

Alan Charlton, born 1948, lives and works in Hatfield near London.
