Color in flight.

Published on the occasion of the exhibition "Color in Fugue" presented at the Fondation Louis Vuitton, this book demonstrates the importance, within contemporary abstraction, of the works of five painters of different origins and generations: Sam Gilliam (United States, 1933), Katharina Grosse (Germany, 1961), Steven Parrino (United States, 1958-2005), Megan Rooney (South Africa, 1985) and Niele Toroni (Switzerland, 1937). These artists transform the color-surface relationship by freeing themselves from traditional frameworks. The freely expanding painting they propose then unfolds in space and enters into close dialogue with architecture.
This catalog brings together contributions from Jonathan P. Binstock, Claudia Buizza, Philippe Dagen, Ludovic Delalande, Frank Gehry, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Nathalie Ogé, Florence Ostende, Suzanne Pagé, Ludger Schwarte, Nancy Spector, Claire Staebler and Marc-Olivier Wahler.
