Press release

Galerie Max Hetzler, London, is pleased to present Potential Colour, a group exhibition of works by Darren Almond, Glenn Brown, André Butzer, Günther Förg, Hans Josephsohn, KAWS, Albert Oehlen, Edmund de Waal, Rebecca Warren, Grace Weaver and Toby Ziegler. Taking grey as its starting point, the exhibition explores the gradations of this nuanced shade, from black to white and the space in-between. At once transparent and opaque, grey hovers at the threshold between reality and representation, absence and presence, past and present. Contained within its veiled contours is the potentiality of all colour. Dissolving white and black, grey is a tool for erasure or overpainting, for blotting out or leaving ghostly traces; yet it also serves to articulate passages and mould forms. This exhibition focuses on the ambiguity and evanescent nature of the monochrome palette as one that is comprised simultaneously of every hue and none.
