The Musée Saint-Pierre (museum of contemporary art of the city of Lyon) in Lyon, France, invites Maurice Besset, professor of history of contemporary art at the University of Geneva, as guest curator, to prepare an exhibition on the theme: “The Color Alone: the Monochrome as Experiment”. The exhibition intends “to show the public the paradoxical historical phenomenon of the emergence and development of a form of painting centered around the use of a single color, and to encourage reflection on the meaning of color in painting in general, in extreme conditions that favor concentration.” Tableau Vert is featured as a highlight of the exhibition along with ten additional works by Kelly.
