Red
This Teaching Gallery exhibition explores the use of the color red in a variety of media, including painting, prints, books, and design objects from the eighteenth century to today. In particular, the exhibition focuses on how red in these works mediates our relation to space, time, and both real and imagined places. Combining artworks with quotes from various artists that reflect on the color red, the exhibition examines the links among politics, ideology, and community, and deeply subjective experiences such as memory, fantasy, and the workings of the subconscious. From prints by pop artists Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, to paintings by Fernand L茅ger and Gene Davis, to the bright red cover of Mao Zedong's book Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-Tung and Ettore Sottsass's Valentine Portable Typewriter, the exhibition brings artworks of various historical and geographic backgrounds and aesthetic traditions into dialogue with each other through their shared use of red.
