Georges Folmer - Major Retrospective

From 24 April to 11 May 2012

A retrospective comprising paintings, sculptures and 'roto-peintures' 1928-1968

Φ Georges Folmer

Waterhouse & Dodd present a major retrospective of the innovative French abstract artist, Georges Folmer. The exhibition is entitled simply Φ, the Greek letter ‘Phi’ that lies at the heart of much of Folmer’s work from the 1930s onwards: it is the symbol of The Golden Ratio, the ancient mathematical and geometrical theory upon which most of his works are constructed; it signifies the philosophy of balance in all things, in life and art; and it is the character that Folmer used to sign many of his works.

The exhibition opens at Waterhouse & Dodd’s gallery at 16 Savile Row in London on Tuesday 24th April 2012 and continues until 11th May. Selected works have toured to TEFAF Maastricht in March 2012 and to Waterhouse & Dodd’s London gallery at 104 Greene Stree New York in January.
 
As well as paintings the exhibition will include a number of 3-dimensional works, including the artist’s historically important polychromatic constructions, among the earliest ever made, and his unique ‘Roto-peintures’ and ‘Tableaux-grilles’ with rotating and movable panels.
