TED STAMM AT THE SMART MUSEUM OF ART, CHICAGO, IL, USA
MONOCHROME MULTITUDES, 22 SEP 2022 - 8 JAN 2023
This exhibition examines "the monochrome" as a creative possibility for idealising formal issues such as flatness, space and colour. The reduction in art as a decisive idea of Modernism has been used as an expansive artistic practice throughout the 20th and 21st centuries.
Bringing together 120 works from the Smart Museum's collection, Monochrome Multitudes engages American art in a global dialogue and emphasises the importance of multiple media through artists such as Josef Albers, Mark Bradford, Alexander Calder, Helen Frankenthaler, Ellsworth Kelly, Yayoi Kusama, Ad Reinhard, Fred Sandback, Naama Tsabar or Ted Stamm, among many others.
