Carl Sydow was one of a bright new generation of Aotearoa New Zealand sculptors who came to the fore during the 1960s and 70s. Inspired by the energy and culture of 1960s London, where he lived for several years, Sydow rejected traditional sculptural materials and processes, instead making great use of new materials like welded steel and brightly coloured plastic.

Sydow died aged thirty-five. At the time, he was one of Aotearoa New Zealandʼs leading sculptors with his career in full flight. Tomorrow Never Knows showcases Sydowʼs playful, up-tempo sculptures produced in the last five years of his life alongside suites of his op-inspired drawings.
