BEYOND FORMS: LINES OF ABSTRACTION 1950-1970
Eva Hesse, Agnes Martin, Louise Bourgeois, Lygia Clark and Hannah Wilke are some of the 50 artists from around the globe included in the exhibition, with artists from Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and Eastern Europe, positioning them as central figures in the history of abstraction.
The exhibition includes sculptures by Mária Bartuszová, Louise Bourgeois, Eva Hesse and Hannah Wilke. Marisa Merz’s Living Sculpture (1966) stands out, a piece made in the intimacy of a domestic space, before she had her own studio. It also explores the work of Carla Accardi and Marta Pan and their innovative use of modern materials to redefine space and perception. The textile art of Maria Teresa Chojnacka and Ewa Pachucka also symbolize resistance and liberation from censorship. Complementing the sculpture, the exhibition includes a selection of paintings and reliefs, such as East (1965) by Carmen Herrera and Agnes Martin, Morning (1965), enriching the understanding of this artistic period.
