Global Art • 1960 • I
The New Realist group is formed at the house of Yves Klein. An article on the New Realists in the New York Tribune in 1961 refers to several of the group as Neo-Dadaists; the link is downplayed by the group.
An entry from the timeline included in the exhibition Dada South? Experimentation, Radicalism and Resistance (2009–2010) at the Iziko National Gallery, which proposed connections between art production in South Africa and abroad against the social and political contexts that framed them. A revised version of this timeline was later featured in the retroactive Flight Paths (2011) exhibition guide commissioned by Clare Butcher.
