COLOR CHART: REINVENTING COLOUR,
1950 TO TODAY
Until 12 May 2008
MOMA
www.moma.org
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 massproduced
and standardised 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.” Colour Chart is the first major exhibition
devoted to this pivotal transformation,
featuring work by some 40 artists ranging from
Ellsworth Kelly and Gerhard Richter to Sherrie Levine and
Damien Hirst.
