+ About the work

Catherine Yass made this striking new work during lock-down in the gothic-romantic landscape of London’s Abney Park Cemetery. Her distinctive use of the colour blue and use of light capture a dreamlike moment; a time suspended between past and future, the immediacy of now.

+ About the artist

Catherine Yass is an internationally renowned artist, whose experimentation with methods of processing and colour in photography presents an intensified view of reality, evoking psychological states and the subconscious. She was nominated for the Turner price in 2002 and in 2008 realised a celebrated Artangel commission in Glasgow, which saw a tightrope walker move between two high-rise towers in the sky.

The work of Catherine Yass is in many private and public collections including the Tate, London, Victoria and Albert Museum, London, Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh, Biblioteca Albertina, Leipzig and the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
