Meeting the Monochrome. ZERO and Dansaekhwa
In the 1950s and 1960s, artists in Europe and Asia worked in a radically abstract manner, combining a reduction of subject matter and color palette with a reflection on materials and techniques. In West Germany, major impulses came from the Düsseldorf group around Heinz Mack, Otto Piene, and Günther Uecker, as well as the international ZERO network. In South Korea, the so-called Dansaekhwa ("monochrome painting") artists such as Park Seo-Bo, Ha Chong-Hyun, Lee Ufan, and Kwon Young-Woo were central to Korean modernism.
This anthology opens up a so far unexplored field of research, in which the art of ZERO and Dansaekhwa is considered together for the first time through introductory overviews as well as dedicated analyses of works and exhibitions.
