“The show, presented from February 28 to June 9, 2025 and curated by Maurizio Cattelan and Sam Stourdzé, invites us to explore the history of colour photography over the whole course of the twentieth century, through the zestful gaze of 20 artists. The tour, in seven chapters, leads us into vibrant, saturated worlds where colour strikes the retina and engages the mind.
Often disparaged and rarely taken seriously, colour photography has nevertheless allowed photographers to let their hair down, take out their palettes, and repaint the world. Many have freed themselves from the documentary function of the photographic medium to explore the common roots of the image and the imaginary, flirting with pop art, surrealism, bling, kitsch, and the baroque.”
