Larry Poons Returns to Paris with New Exhibition After Four Decades
Almine Rech Paris, Turenne is hosting 'Kentucky Cols.', a solo exhibition by Larry Poons, from March 21 to May 21, 2026. This marks Poons' first Paris show in about forty years and his third with the gallery, featuring recent paintings that explore new artistic directions. The works, including pieces like 'Ballroom Chassi' and several untitled ones, emphasize experiential color fields rather than direct representation, highlighting Poons' influence in color-field painting history.
