Items related to Color Chart: Reinventing Color, 1950 to Today
Synopsis
Color Chart celebrates a paradox: the lush beauty that results when contemporary artists assign colour decisions to chance, readymade source or arbitrary system. Midway through the 20th century, long-held convictions regarding the spiritual truth or scientific validity of particular colours gave way to an excitement about colour as a mass-produced and standardized commercial product. The Romantic quest for personal expression instead became Andy Warhol’s ‘I want to be a machine’; the artistry of mixing pigments was eclipsed by Frank Stella’s ‘Straight out of the can; it can’t get better than that’. This book, and the exhibition it accompanies, is the first devoted to this pivotal transformation, and features work by some forty artists ranging from Ellsworth Kelly and Gerhard Richter to Sherrie Levine and Damien Hirst.

Seller: Strand Book Store, ABAA, New York, NY, U.S.A.
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Oversized Hardcover. Condition: Good. Taking the commercial color chart as its central metaphor, this volume chronicles an important artistic shift that took place during the middle of the 20th century: a frank acknowledgment of color as a matter-of-fact element rather than a vehicle of spiritual or emotional content. Collected here are more than 40 artists who explore in their works the double meaning of 'ready-made color': color bought off the shelf, rather than mixed on a palette, as well color assigned by chance or arbitrary system rather than composed with traditional chromatic harmonies in mind. Accompanies the exhibition @ MoMA, NYC. 03/02/08-05/12/08. Illus., 280 color. Seller Inventory # 317965
