Bruton + Co is proud to present its upcoming exhibition, ZERO and Beyond, at its Mayfair showroom. The exhibition will bring together works by some of the most influential and innovative international artists of the 20th and 21st Centuries, united by their radical exploration of the lightest colour, white, through masterful use of shade, texture, emotion and surface. The show opens on the 9th October 2025 and will be on view until the end of the year. 

Featuring a dynamic selection of works spanning from the founders of the ZERO movement, Heinz Mack and Günther Uecker, to the Italian master Lucio Fontana and the iconic American artist Cy Twombly, the exhibition will include a rare late 1950s work by Piero Manzoni from a major private collection, a monumental piece by Paolo Scheggi, and an iconic painting by Christopher Wool.

White becomes a vast medium for expression; the selected works show these artists at their most innovative and daring, using textures, materials and instruments to alter and challenge our visual understanding of the colour white, building emotion, tension and depth beyond the traditional connotations of purity and innocence.

Drawing inspiration from the ethos of the ZERO movement and its redefinition of artistic boundaries, Zero and Beyond positions white as defiant and courageous, able to convey ideas of social and political change in times of turmoil. From Uecker’s nail reliefs and Mack’s shimmering surfaces to Ryman’s meditations on paint and Guidi’s hand-combed, cosmic abstractions, the exhibition reveals how artists across generations transformed whiteness into a site of cultural revolution.

“White has long been a paradoxical space in art,” says Olyvia Kwok, founder and CEO of Bruton + Co. “It can suggest purity or erasure, infinity or nothingness. ZERO and Beyond brings together pioneering voices who pushed white beyond its apparent neutrality, opening it into a spectrum of conceptual and material richness. In a time when the market for commercial artworks is fatiguing, we look to works from the past that offer both enduring elegance and market resilience”.

Bruton + Co, which was launched earlier this year, is a new type of art business stretching beyond traditional dealership and advisory models, instead acting as a strategic partner to those looking to buy and invest in art in the ever-changing art market.
