Tate Modern exhibition pays tribute to Le Parc, shortly after death
Tate Modern in London will open a major retrospective titled "Julio Le Parc: Light. Colour. Action." on June 11, less than two weeks after the Argentine artist's death at age 97. The exhibition, the first British museum retrospective for Le Parc, brings together 75 works including one created specifically for the show, and features a poem he wrote about the end of his life. Curator Val Ravaglia noted that Le Parc had hoped to attend the opening and was trying to book a Eurostar ticket before his death in Paris.
