Preview (by invitation only): 9 May
Public Days: 10 – 14 May
Mazzoleni is thrilled to return to TEFAF New York this Spring with a group exhibition dedicated to some of the most iconic contributions of Italian masters from the latter half of the 20th century: Lucio Fontana, Alberto Burri, Alighiero Boetti, and Salvo. Despite their distinctly different practices, each of these artists profoundly influenced the advancement of new creative experiments with language, space, colour and time, from Fontana’s development of Spatialism to Salvo’s transfixing landscapes.
In conjunction with these Italian masters, the presentation will also feature an outstanding representation of contemporary artist Alex Katz’s (1927) large-scale portraiture, entitled Stephanie (2006). This work, an example of his iconic “specific” portraits, showcases the renowned characteristics of Katz’s work, including its striking cropping, concise lines and distinctive pink lips.
