Exhibition Opening: Seeing Through / Vedere Attraverso

Works by Antonio Scaccabarozzi and Marthe Keller. Conceived and curated by contemporary art historian Elisabetta Longari

On view through March 16, 2017 — Mon-Fri 10-5

Antonio Scaccabarozzi (Merate, Italy 1936-2008) and Marthe Keller (b. New York, 1948) belong to different artistic generations, had different cultural upbringings, lived on different continents, (although Keller has been present in Europe, and particularly in Italy, for a long time), and experimented with different styles. If we systematically compare their works, however, the two painters seem to move from similar visual problems, and suggest answers that unexpectedly relate to each other. Both artists base the perceptual dynamics of their works on the experience of seeing through.
