Experience the Mathematical Elegance of Max Bill’s 'Blauer kern' (1969)

Originally conceived in 1969, 'Blauer kern' (Blue Core) is a seminal masterwork by the Swiss polymath and Bauhaus alumnus, Max Bill. This 70x100 cm museum-quality reproduction captures the precise geometric logic and vibrant color theory that defined the Concrete Art movement. As a pioneer of the movement, Bill sought to create art that was not a representation of nature, but a physical manifestation of mathematical thought and visual order.

Authentic Fine Art Presentation

At RedKalion, we honor the architectural precision of Max Bill by utilizing 250 gsm (110 lb) archival museum-quality paper. This premium, natural white paper features a matte, uncoated finish that eliminates glare and preserves the deep, saturated tones of the central blue core and its surrounding geometric gradients. The 0.29 mm (11.4 mils) thickness ensures the print remains perfectly flat and durable over time.

Premium Framing and Sustainable Craftsmanship

This exquisite piece arrives in a custom black wooden frame, meticulously crafted from responsibly sourced oak or ash. Surpassing industry standards, the frame profile is 20mm (0.79") thick and wide, providing a substantial, galleries-preferred presence compared to thinner alternatives. To ensure long-term preservation, the print is protected by shatterproof plexiglass, maintaining clarity while shielding the pigments from environmental factors. Every element of this production adheres to FSC-certified standards, reflecting RedKalion’s commitment to sustainable, archival-grade curation.
