Josef & Anni Albers Foundation

Group Exhibition

Monochrome Multitudes

Smart Museum of Art, University of Chicago, Illinois
22 September 2022–8 January 2023


Monochrome Multitudes traces “the monochrome” as a fundamental if surprisingly expansive artistic practice. Revisiting classic modernist ideas about flatness, idealized form, and colors, the exhibition opens up this seemingly reductive art to reveal its global resonance and creative possibilities. Featuring 120 works by artists including Josef Albers, Lynda Benglis, Sheila Hicks, Byron Kim, Allan McCollum, and Fred Sandback, among many others.
