Joseph Kosuth in The Collection of The Fondation: A Vision for Painting

“The Collection of the Fondation, a new selection of works, A Vision for Painting” brings together 72 works by 23 artists representing different horizons and generations with most of the works presented here for the first time. The exhibition shows how formal modes and expressions of painting have been renewed since 1960 to today: figurative or abstract, manufactured or mechanic, inhabited or distant, it is at times displayed in dialogue with sculptures and installations. Two questions lead to the choice: How do artists create using traditional painting materials: gesture, surface, colour, light? How does painting extend its boundaries today, by taking over other techniques and developing other strategies in relation to space?
