Karl Gerstner. Color Sound

About

The selection of work in Color Sound consists of abstract compositions on board using mathematical sequencing of value and tone. Developed through image systems, rather than individual works, Gerstner sought to create constructive images in which form and color were in unity. Fascinated by the effect of color and sound as cultural signifiers, he used the subtle modularity of an image to engage the viewer by combining these strategies with serial principles.This is the first time Gerstner’s work will be on view in New York since his solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in 1973.
