Golds – an exhibition exploring one of the most symbolic colours in the history of art, and how it has been used and represented in the work of significant artists from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries – opens tomorrow at Ordovas on Savile Row in London. The exhibition, featuring 11 works of art, represents a diverse group of artists including Carl Andre, Lucio Fontana, Donald Judd, Giuseppe Penone, Edmund de Waal and Andy Warhol. These modern works are shown alongside a masterpiece of medieval art: an exceptional champlevé enamel chasse from Limoges, France, created circa 1200 and believed to have housed and protected one of the most precious relics: a piece of the True Cross. This is the latest in a series of exhibitions held over recent years exploring the use of a single colour; previous editions were dedicated to white in 2017 and blue in 2020. It runs until December 13.
