The Inner Light or the Expression of Color

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Galerie du Monde is pleased to present the group exhibition “The Inner Light and the Expression of Color” curated by Philipp Bollmann, on view from 14 September to 28 October 2023. The exhibition places six artists of different generations and origins in dialogue — Miriam Cahn, Helen Frankenthaler, Leiko Ikemura, Martha Jungwirth, Michael Müller, and Maximilian Rödel.

A highlight of the exhibition is Helen Frankenthaler’s masterpiece “Off White Square” (1973) — one of the largest paintings Frankenthaler ever made, and its exhibition debut in Asia. This monumental painting exemplifies the highly expressive body of work that Frankenthaler produced during her transition from gestural abstraction to color field painting, featuring the expanses of pure color and her signature use of diluted paint.
