The “Carla Accardi 1924-2024 – Un omaggio” exhibition, which will run from April 28 to October 29, 2023, at the Museo Correr Sala delle Quattro Porte, is a tribute to one of the most important figures in Italian art of the 20th century. Curated by Pier Paolo Pancotto and Chiara Squarcina, the exhibition will showcase a selection of works by Carla Accardi, who played a significant role in the development of non-figurative art in Italy.
The exhibition will feature a small number of works placed in dialogue with the historical environments of the museum. Although the exhibition is not an anthological presentation, it aims to summarize the artist’s creative path through a selection of works that are entirely indicative of her research. The exhibition will provide a unique opportunity for visitors to gain insight into Accardi’s artistic journey and her contributions to the development of abstract art.
Accardi’s career spanned several decades, and she constantly pushed the boundaries of traditional art forms, experimenting with different materials and techniques. Her works are characterized by the use of signs, chromatic juxtapositions, and optical and environmental effects. She was also a committed feminist and social activist, and her works reflect her political and social views.
The exhibition is a fitting tribute to an artist who maintained a constant link with Venice throughout her life and career. Accardi’s debut at the Venice Biennale in 1948, her subsequent solo exhibitions at the event, and her numerous visits to the city are all documented in the exhibition. The “Carla Accardi 1924-2024 – Un omaggio” exhibition is a must-see for anyone interested in contemporary art and the development of non-figurative art in Italy.
