Colour after Klein

A groundbreaking exhibition that took the visitor on a sensual, thought-provoking journey, Colour After Klein reassessed the powerful and important place of colour in contemporary art, offering a fresh way of experiencing iconic works of painting, installation, photography and sculpture by some of the most significant artists of the 20th and 21st century. Louise Bourgeois, William Eggleston, Andy Warhol and Anish Kapoor were shown together with a younger generation of artists including Pipilotti Rist and Anri Sala. 

Starting with an important group of Yves Klein paintings, the exhibition highlighted colour’s relationship to desire, the body and utopias. Colour After Klein wasn’t about colour rules or theory. Instead, it took pleasure in the rapport between the aesthetic and the conceptual, and the emotive responses colour arouses.
