For this 57th Cologne art fair, we are delighted to present the work of Nicholas Bodde, an artist from Bremen whom we have championed for many years. Invited by the Arithmeum Museum in Bonn, he brought a vibrant explosion of color to the space. The event, which opened on September 8th under the title "From Color to Infinity," garnered significant press coverage and attracted a large number of visitors. Another artist whose work we will be presenting, a beautiful piece entitled "The Dance of Fire" (1973), also explored color, particularly in an architectural context (the Jet-Underground mural in the Hauptbahnhof metro station in Hanover), is Jean Dewasne (1921-1999), whose work is also represented in the Arithmeum Museum's collection.

We also wanted to present the latest works of Antoine Perrot, a French artist who works with the principle of imported color. He finds his colors in the unusual mediums industrially produced by our consumer society. Here, he will be creating works with braided ribbon, which gives his work a very impressionistic touch.

Günter Fruhtrunk (1923-1982), whose birthday was celebrated in several German cities, notably with an exhibition in Munich on his Parisian years, will undoubtedly be represented by a large work from 1971. A few sculptures by the artist Denis Pondruel, who has been in high demand recently, particularly in Fougères in Ille-et-Vilaine for the 'Point de mire' exhibition at the invitation of Philippe Piguet, will punctuate the stand.

A leading figure in geometric abstraction who threw herself into it body and soul, Ode Bertrand, the only student and niece of the great Aurélie Nemours, is featured. Her works in color are rare, as she dislikes color. She will be presented alongside some of her better-known graphic works, as well as a vibrant color piece. We also wanted to include the work of our friend Hans-Jörg Glattfelder, the last Swiss concrete artist. He was awarded the Aurélie Nemours Prize in Paris in September 2023 and surprised us with a beautiful work entitled "Rainbow Drops," an installation of several cut-out elements mounted on a very slow rotating system. This work changes over time, never appearing different or quite the same.

Finally, you can discover the latest works of Moon-Pil Shim, our Korean artist who lives between France and Korea. His work is remarkably delicate; volumes are suggested behind plexiglass, and the layered effects of depth create a mysterious effect. He has been approached by the Cernuschi Museum of Asian Arts for a future collaboration.
