Description
A Proposito di Marisa Merz is a small book about a legendary artist. Merz, the only female artist of the core Arte Povera group, has been creating a strikingly original body of work for the past five decades. Published to complement the acquisition of a work by the MAXXI museum in Rome, this catalogue offers an ample apparatus of historical and biographical notes in relation to the acquisitions, while providing a deeper reading of the artist’s oeuvre, outlining her production from the Sixties to today, and discussing her practice in relation to its contemporary international context.
