Monacelli Publishes 'Rainbow Dreams' Survey of Color in Contemporary Art

The Monacelli publishing house will release 'Rainbow Dreams: Color and Light in Contemporary Art' on April 2. This vibrant volume presents over 200 artworks exploring pigment and light across installations, sculptures, paintings, and photographs. Featured artists include Do Ho Suh, known for his ethereal architectural works, and Kimsooja, whose iridescent mirror installations are highlighted. Lauren Halsey contributes a fringed tapestry, while other notable participants are Nina Chanel Abney, Nick Cave, the collective DRIFT, and Katharina Grosse. The book itself is designed as a playful object, bound in a smooth color gradient that extends to the page edges. Pre-orders are available through the Colossal Shop. Many artists in the survey have been previously featured on the Colossal platform. The publication serves as a broad celebration of chromatic creativity in recent art.
