Günther Förg. Le Moderne is an exhibition that was shown in 2024 at Almine Rech in Paris. I designed the catalog using Helvetica. Nicolas de Chérisey, the gallery’s director, comments on the artist's work:

Günther Förg drew inspiration from the formal vocabulary of modernism, both in painting and architecture. His abstract works, often monochrome, were sometimes structured by geometric lines and flat colors, recalling the principles of order and simplicity associated with architectural movements such as the Bauhaus or the International Style. But while Förg adopted the formal principles of modernism, he nonetheless deconstructed its ideals of perfection, order, and purity.
