Lo tienes que ver. La autonomía del color en el arte abstracto

As part of the exhibition ‘Lo tienes que ver. La autonomía del color en el arte abstracto’ at the Fundación Juan March (February 28th – June 8th, 2025), Factum Foundation lent several works centered around the importance of colour.

Among the objects were included a collage of colour tests made for ‘Madame de Pompadour in the Frame’, two textile colour palettes for tapestries, and several volumes from Adam Lowe’s personal collection that illustrate the breadth of expertise in terms of digital and traditional colour-matching that underpins Factum’s work to create facsimiles and contemporary works of art:

 

  • John F. Earhart, The color printer. A treatise on the use of colors in typographic printing (Cincinnati, Ohio: Earhart & Richardson, 1892)
  • John F. Earhart, The Harmonizer (Cincinnati, Ohio: Earhart & Richardson, 1897)
  • Gautier, Observations Physiques Dedie’es Au Roy (Paris: Jorry, 1752)
  • Frank Howard, Colour as a means of art: being an adaptation of the experience of professors to the practice of amateurs (London: Joseph Thomas, 1838)
  • Adam Lowe, Digital Prints (London: Permaprint, 1997)
