ColorForms
"ColorForms" presents works from the Hirshhorn's collection, dating from the 1960s to the present, that explore the ways in which color has been an essential tool for artists, regardless of medium. Although dramatically different in aesthetics and composition, all of the works in the exhibition reveal a mesmerizing blend of color and abstract form. Highlights range from an architectural light installation by James Turrell to a Fred Sandback sculpture that reshapes the gallery space with a dozen columns of store-bought red and black yarn. A recent rotation of works includes Olafur Eliasson's "Round Rainbow" (2005), a gallery of early-'60s dot paintings by Larry Poons, and Richard Serra's works on paper "Morro Bay" (1991) and “Balance” (1972).
