CARLOS CRUZ-DIEZ – COLOR IN SPACE AND TIME

Posted on 2010-10-04

Color in Space and Time features more than 150 works from the artist´s wide-ranging career, culled from the Cruz-Diez Foundation collection at the MFAH, and major private and public collections around the world.
For more than five decades Carlos Cruz-Diez has intensively experimented with the origins and optics of color. His wide-ranging body of work includes unconventional color structures, light environments, street interventions, architectural integration projects and experimental works that engage the response of the human eye while insisting on the participatory nature of color. The exhibition will introduce international audiences to Cruz-Diez´s extensive production and will place his theoretical and artistic contributions to 20th-century Modernism in a broader context than they have traditionally been seen.
