In 2024 the Kunstmuseum Reutlingen konkret will be showing the major collection exhibition
Bernard Aubertin: Rouge et plus. The French painter a member of the ZERO group known for his
monochrome works in the color red spent many years in Reutlingen. It was there that he created
his large-scale wall and room-filling works. However the exhibition also clearly demonstrates
that Bernard Aubertin (1934-2015) known as le rouge should not be reduced solely to his use
of the color red as he experimented with a broad scope of artistic expression throughout his
life. The publication to accompany the exhibition features photographs from the current show
as well as archival material hitherto unpublished studio photographs historical texts and
newly written essays. All of this prepares the ground for a reassessment of this artist from
the ZERO movement whose work thus far has never been accorded the recognition it merits.
