35 artists who broke the rules
SGA50 celebrates the 50th anniversary of 'Strategy: Get Arts' (SGA) a landmark exhibition held in 1970 in the main Edinburgh College of Art (ECA) building.
The work of 35 post-war artists from Düsseldorf, including Joseph Beuys, Gerhard Richter, Stefan Wewerka, Blinky Palermo, Klaus Rinke, and Günther Uecker, transformed the college into a ‘total work of art’.
