Lee Krasner: Living Colour

Kirsty Carter

Lee Krasner: Living Colour was the first retrospective of Krasner’s work to be held in Europe for over fifty years. It explored the breadth of the artist’s pioneering, inventive practice, and celebrated the importance of her contribution to twentieth century art. APFEL collaborated with David Chipperfield Architects on the design of the exhibition, developing a graphic scheme characterised by clear, fine and formally robust typography.
