Fondation Le Corbusier presents Le moderne, Günther Förg’s solo exhibition at Maison La Roche in Paris. The exhibition traces Förg’s lifelong commitment to conceptualism, from his early grey and monochrome paintings to his exploration of modernist themes and large-format photography, with which he captured culturally and politically significant architectural structures from Tel Aviv to Moscow. Despite his exploration of various media, including sculpture, ceramics and photography, painting remained his most important expressive medium. As he put it, ‘painting is a resilient practice; it remains ever-present and unchanging through history.’
