Who's Afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue? - Softcover
Taking Barnett Newman's seminal 1966 painting as its starting point, this exhibition catalogue collects work by 14 monumentally important international artists, including Newman himself, who were responsible for brining Minimalism to the fore. Beginning with Dan Flavin's neon works, and including monochromes, color field paintings and contrast studies by Günther Förg, Ellsworth Kelly, Imi Knoebel, Yves Klein, Morris Louis, Kenneth Noland, Blinky Palermo, Stephen Prina, Ad Reinhardt, Gerhard Richter, Mark Rothko and Heimo Zobernig, this volume also contains personal statements by or about each of the artists, all very well chosen and unusually intimate. Transcendent, exuberant, sober, poetic, witty, sublime or dogmatic--the works collected here answer Newman's titular question with a resounding, "Not I."

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This exhibition (curated by Karola Grasslin) and the accompanying catalogue takes as its theme the beginings of minimalist art and the development of colour field painting. Generally accepted to be the first international trend to develop in the USA in the 1940s and 1950s and to achieve equivalent status with what was then happening in Europe, it represented a fundamental and at the same time radical enquiry into the traditional concept of the picture in painting. It was published to accompany the exhibition "Who's Afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue? Positions in Colour Field Painting" at Staatliche Kunsthalle, Baden-Baden, July - September 2007. Curated by Karola Grasslin, this exhibition and the accompanying catalogue takes as its theme the beginings of minimalist art and the development of colour field painting. It represented a fundamental and at the same time radical enquiry into the traditional concept of the picture in painting.
