Siri Berg has a strong interest in color theory, a subject she taught for many years at the Parsons School of Design in New York City. Color is extremely relative and relational, as colors appear different according to any other adjacent colors.
\u201c\u2026just as the knowledge of acoustics does not make one musical\u2026 so no color system by itself can develop one\u2019s sensitivity for color,\u201d stated artist and professor Joseph Albers, who Siri Berg met. In this same vein, Siri Berg empirically investigates the way in which colors are experienced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her earlier work at times referenced symbols of balance and harmony \u2013 such as yin and yang or the rondeau, a principle in musical composition. On the contrary, her later work contains no such references, as clearly denoted by titles including \u201cIt\u2019s All About Color\u201d. In two large-scale works bearing this title, Siri Berg experimented with just how few hues she could utilize to achieve a spectrum with a color gradation. The result was two series of nine monochrome canvases \u2013 one cold, with a scale ranging from light yellow-green to dark blue, and one warm, ranging from yellow-orange to deeper, darker red tones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Berg\u2019s work is included in collections at both the Guggenheim Museum (NYC) and Moderna Museet (Stockholm).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
