Often underestimated and not always taken seriously, color photography has nonetheless enabled artists to bring out their palettes and “paint” with light. Freed from its traditional documentary role, the medium has become a space to explore the shared roots of image and imagination, venturing into the realms of Surrealism and Pop.

Visual artist and curator Maurizio Cattelan, together with curator Sam Stourdzé, reinterprets the history of color photography from the 20th century to the present day, through the work of over 20 artists who guide us into vivid, vibrant, and playful worlds. Dive into sunny yellows, azure blues, sparkling reds, and bright oranges — straight from the lenses of some of the most iconic names in color photography.
