Giorgio Griffa

A vividly illustrated catalogue accompanying legendary painter Giorgio Griffa’s first museum exhibition in the United States
 
For almost sixty years, Giorgio Griffa (born in 1936 in Turin, Italy, where he lives and works) has explored the potential of painting in a practice that is both rigorous and lyrical. Published on the occasion of his first solo museum exhibition in the United States, this volume includes scholarly essays, an original text by the artist, and studio and installation photography. Together, they illuminate Griffa’s relationship to the history of painting, his concern for “material intelligence,” and his particularly ecological way of thinking.
