Terry Winters: Red Yellow Green Blue

A catalog documenting the American painter Terry Winters's Red Yellow Green Blue, the third exhibition of the 2014 season at 'T' Space, the architect Steven Holl's gallery in the woods outside Rhinebeck, New York.

The exhibition, which opened August 30, 2014 to a crowd that included Jasper Johns and Brice and Helen Marden, installed Winters's work on the gallery's largest interior wall. The catalog's cover reproduces a layered collage of red, yellow, green, and blue transparencies — taped, hole-punched, and overlapped into an off-register color wheel — and carries the theorist Sanford Kwinter's essay 'The Temperature of Things,' which takes the work as a starting point for a speculative exploration of the logic embedded in form. Issued by the gallery without an ISBN, in the modest format of its exhibition-catalog series.

Winters (b. 1949, Brooklyn) makes paintings, drawings, and prints that filter natural systems, crystallography, and information graphics through gestural abstraction he is represented by Matthew Marks Gallery, and his layered, diagrammatic image-building gives his printed matter a natural kinship with collage.
