Synopsis
This collection of black-and-white drawings made by Marisa Merz between 2001 and 2004 rises from the complex movements of her hand as it explores the space of the drawing surface, maniacally repeating and insisting on the stroke of the pencil, existing as if in a graphic trance.

hardcover. Condition: Perfetto (Mint). Prima edizione (First Edition). Libro pubblicato in occasione delle mostre allestite presso il Kunstmuseum Winterthur (6 settembre - 23 novembre 2003) e presso la Barbara Gladstone Gallery di New York (24 gennaio - 21 febbraio 2004). Raccolta di 60 disegni realizzati da Marisa Merz tra il 2003 e il 2004. Testo di Dieter Schwarz in italiano, tedesco e inglese. Con 39 illustrazioni a piena pagina in bianco e nero e 4 a colori. . Cm 24x17. pp. 64. . Perfetto (Mint). . Prima edizione (First Edition). . Marisa Merz nasce a Torino e partecipa al fermento creativo che si coagula nel gruppo dell'Arte Povera esponendo al Deposito d'Arte Presente nel 1967 e alla rassegna Arte Povera + Azioni Povere ad Amalfi nel 1968. Oltre ad aver partecipato a diverse tra le più importanti mostre degli ultimi trent'anni, Marisa Merz è stata presente in molte edizioni della Biennale di Venezia, vincendo il Premio Speciale dell'edizione svoltasi nel 2001.?Quarantatré figure su carta bianca, prive di contorni, semplice bagliore delicato che si concentra sulla superficie per poi svanire ? niente tratti, solo un'ombra. I disegni si focalizzano sui lineamenti di un viso: si distinguono parti di occhi e bocca, punti di riferimento che invece di appartenere a una persona occupano lo spazio ? in modo non uniforme, sporadico, come uno stuolo di figure che si raccolgono, una moltitudine di esseri che si posano qua e là. [?] una struttura semplice che nel lavoro di Marisa Merz ha conservato la validità nel corso degli anni, ricerca di una forma stabile nonostante la fragilità delle forme. Il gesto del disegno evoca il conflitto tra quesito e risoluzione che accompagna l'opera senza mai lasciarla? (Dieter Schwarz). Book. Seller Inventory # bc_233158
