How versatile is monochromy? How colorful is a single tone? Whether in red, blue, green, white or black: Monochrome works exist in all colors and non-colors. "Monochromy. On the Aesthetics of Published Art" presents various expressions of the contemporary artistic investigations of color.


Ever since the 1950s, conceptions with completely monochrome surfaces have arisen in the context of artists’ publications with the goal of achieving the highest possible degree of simplifi cation and concentration. On display in the exhibition are works by more than sixty artists who thematize the different aspects of monochromy and its meaning for art. The artists focus on aspects of absolute abstraction, emotions, color and emptiness, all the way to the philosophical and religious concept of nothingness. Monochromy is presented in the form of prints, artist’s books and periodicals, objects and paintings as well as in the context of Sound Art.
