Colour is everything! is the title of the opening exhibition at the Reinhard Ernst Museum. It presents a selection of paintings and sculptures from Reinhard Ernst’s high-profile private collection. The works are on view for the first time in the museum’s unique architectural setting designed by Fumihiko Maki.
 
The exhibition’s starting point and leitmotif is an in-depth exploration of colour, the passion of the museum’s founder and Wiesbaden-based entrepreneur. The focus of the presentation is Abstract Painting from Europe, USA and Japan from the last 75 years.
 
Although the assembled artists worked at different times and in different places, they all show a radically new understanding of painting, thus changing the history of art forever.
 
Colour is literally everything. In each exhibition room, thought-provoking reflections on the theme of colour entice visitors: ‘Colour’s Dimension’ surprises with its large-format, two-dimensional works that celebrate the experience of space. Colour can go ‘against limits’ of common expectations. Colour can also provide security and a ‘home in painting’. Each new generation of artists uses colour to find answers to the questions of their time, so ‘The Beat Goes On’.
 
Colour is everything. Everywhere.
