Declaring Space December 19, 2007

'Declaring Space' focuses on the work of four artists whose works had a dramatic impact on the complex development of abstract space and color in the years following World War II -- Lucio Fontana, Yves Klein, Barnett Newman and Mark Rothko. The curator, Michael Auping, sees the work of each of these artists as representing a different stage in the expansion of the grand space abstract painters were imagining in the 1950s and 1960s.
