Josef Albers: Sunny Side Up

In a new and unusual approach to colour in the work of abstract painter Josef Albers, David Zwirner’s first London exhibition devoted to Albers focuses on one colour that held a pervasive place in the artist’s oeuvre. Sunny Side Up, a trove of paintings in which yellow dominates, is drawn from five decades of the artist’s work and conveys the limitless expressive potential of colour and light that characterises Albers’s practice as a whole.

Bringing a touch of that warmth to London’s midwinter climate, Sunny Side Up will present an extensive selection of the artist’s iconic Homage to the Square paintings, begun in 1950 and elaborated on until his death in 1976.
