Exhibition description:
This exhibition paid tribute to Conrad Marca-Relli, one of the most important representatives of American Abstract Expressionism. At the age of eighty-five, Conrad Marca-Relli was one of the few surviving first-generation Abstract Expressionists. Like his friends and colleagues Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning, Marca-Relli never separated figurative and non-figurative abstraction. Rather he was attracted to both, and to the tension between the two. On the occasion of this show, two paintings by Marca-Relli were donated to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation.

Partnerships:
Exhibition organized in collaboration with Galleria d’Arte Niccoli, Parma.
