In the decades immediately following World War II, Marj Rothko, Barnett Newman, Lucio Fontana, and Yves Klein each explored the critical subject of space in abstract art. the resulting paintings, sculptures, installations, and performances brought to abstraction a new psychological, philosophical, and formal depth.
Richly illustrated with reproductions of the works in the exhibition and evocative photographs of the artist at work, this catalogue includes excerpts from the artists' writings and an essay by exhibition curator Michael Auping. Taken together, these elements give readers a sense of the ethos, excitement, and broader philosophical meaning of this era in twentieth-century art, an era that was key in laying the foundation for the dramatic and expansive sense of space inherited by artists today.
