Capogrossi: A Retrospective

September 29, 2012–February 10, 2013

This retrospective explores Giuseppe Capogrossi’s (1900–72) unique contribution to 20th–century art, tracing the evolution of his signature glyph in grandiose orchestrations of abstract mark and color. In collaboration with Rome’s Fondazione Archivio Capogrossi and with support from the President of the Italian Republic and the Italian Ministry of Culture, Capogrossi: A Retrospective brings together over seventy paintings and drawings in a long overdue examination of the artist’s career.
