Fundación Juan March Unveils 'It Must Be Seen' Exhibition in Madrid
The exhibition highlights pioneers of color theory like Piet Mondrian, Josef Albers and Yves Klein.
Fundación Juan March in Madrid has launched ‘It Must Be Seen. The Autonomy of Color in Abstract Art,’ on view until June 8, 2025.
The exhibition, which opened on February 28, features works by Felipe Pantone, including ‘Subtractive Variability Circular 43’ and the site-specific ‘Chromadynamica Transvelum’. The latter, a UV ink on fabric piece measuring seven by four meters, spans the main staircase, creating a striking interplay of light and color.
Curated by Manuel Fontán del Junco and María Zozaya Álvarez, with input from David Batchelor and Paul Smith, the exhibition highlights pioneers of color theory like Piet Mondrian, Josef Albers, and Yves Klein. It also includes key figures in minimalism and geometric abstraction, such as Frank Stella, Bridget Riley, Donald Judd, Sol LeWitt, Jose María Yturralde, and Richard Serra, alongside artists exploring color perception, including Olafur Eliasson, Carlos Cruz-Díez, Anish Kapoor, Peter Halley, Ugo Rondinone, and Dan Flavin.
