L’expérience de la couleur

Past: October 13, 2017 → April 2, 2018

Sèvres presents its exceptional exhibition “The Experience of Colour”.
A new unique journey of the senses, over and beyond ceramics. From the Sèvres colour laboratory to colours in art!

Adopting a cross-cutting and resolutely contemporary approach to colour in art and creation, the exhibition curator Frédéric Bodet does not limit his exploration to the Sèvres laboratory. He also considers international ceramics in other artistic domains: painting, graphic arts, design, glass, textiles, cosmetic photography and gastronomy. Works by great French and foreign ceramists, both contemporary and past artists (Ernest Chaplet, Emile Decoeur, Théodore Deck, Daniel de Montmollin, Philippe Lambercy, Jean Girel…) enter into dialogue with influential contributions by fine artists and designers considered veritable “colour masters” of the 20th century (Josef Albers, Sonia Delaunay, Gérard Fromanger, Yves Klein, Jean-Philippe Lenclos, Andrée Lemonnier…).
