Maximum impact with minimal art

A bright orange perspex chaise longue, a pylon chair made from welded metal triangles and a huge canvas dripping with glitter and all the colours of the rainbow - just some of the works on show at an unconventional art gallery in South Staffordshire.

Minimal Means is the seventh exhibition to be held at Initial Access based on Calibre Industrial Park, Four Ashes, near Wolverhampton.

As part of the extensive Frank Cohen Collection, Minimal Means opened yesterday and runs until December.

Self-made multi-millionaire Mr Cohen, who was born in Manchester, has been a collector for more than 30 years. The new exhibition will showcase a part of his collection not seen in the UK before, including his contemporary furniture and design collection. It includes Pylon Chair by Tom Dixon and Slice Chaise Lounge by Mathias Bengtsson.

Initial Access is made up of two rented refurbished warehouses with 10,000 sq ft of space and been hosting exhibitions since January 2007.

Minimal Means is a group show displaying work from 15 contemporary artists and how they have responded to Modernism.

Curator David Thorp said: "There are some really major artists in this show. I like the idea of the show as a whole, how beautiful things can be made by reducing them to the basic components.

"Frank's collection is very big, and you can get all kinds of themes from it as there is so much work. The exhibition is a good opportunity to show this more minimal work."
