Dr. Katrin Trautwein has spent more than 25 years creating paint colors using extraordinary pigments. Using her Ph.D. in chemistry, she is internationally renowned for reconstructing Le Corbusier's original architectural color palette, and Yves Klein’s famous Blue, using non-toxic pigments. Her presentation at Bialosky will focus on color classics, color myths, exotic pigments, and new principles of color design.

Katrin Trautwein, who holds a degree in Chemistry from John Hopkins University and a doctorate from the Swiss Federal institue of Technology, has spent more than 25 years creating pain colors using extraordinary pigments. Combining a Ph.D in Chemistry with a passion for philosophy and design, she began this journey by reconstructing Le Corbusier’s architectural color pallette. After discovering Le Corbusier’s architectural color keyboards in 1999, a period of intense collaboration with artists, architects, and conservators led to the introduction, through her company kt.COLOR, of modern formulations for the 63 colors Le Corbusier selected for his color keyboards. Several other kt.COLOR formulations are based on iconic classics, such as Yves Klein’s fascinating blue or a remarkably cool “Eileen’s Gray” that the Irish design used for her famous E-1027 seaside villa in Nice, which Katrin was involved in restoring. Her presentation at Bialosky will focus on color classics, color myths, exotic pigments, and new principles of color design. She has written five books on color and will have copies of Black, published in 2014, on hand.
