Nancy Genn: Beyond the Grid

The exhibition Nancy Genn Beyond the Grid is intended as a continuation of the exhibition of the same name hosted at Palazzo Collicola (Spoleto) from 1 April to 31 May 2023.

Marignana Arte exhibits a selection of works belonging to the main series of the Californian artist’s production, including some abstract canvases from the 1960s and 1970s, particularly appreciated by the great art critic Michel Tapié – the first to cite the artist as one of the most significant exponents of post-war informal art in the United States (Morphologie Autre, 1960); a selection of Handmade Papers, artist’s papers made by hand, the result of an extended study stay in Japan; some works from the so-called “Roman period” (1989-2014), evidence of a genuine passion for travelling and of an irrepressible curiosity; and finally, some paintings on paper and on canvas made in the last two decades, between 2000 and 2023, in which the theme of water is constantly present as a source of renewal and purification.
