‘I See You You See Me’ marks the gallery’s first exhibition dedicated to the work of radical Italian artist Carol Rama (1918 – 2015). Organized by Carlo Knoell, this focused presentation gathers key works from six decades of Rama’s career, bringing new focus to the nature of her wildly original experimentations in various mediums—paint, textile, sculpture and bricolage—from 1947 though 1998.
Rama’s non-conformist approach to artmaking was largely dismissed during her lifetime. However, her oeuvre has attracted new attention from critics and collectors in recent decades, exerting a noteworthy influence on generations of contemporary artists for whom Rama’s formal breadth and unfailing belief in visual art as a tool for liberation, are signposts. A pioneer who forged connections between desire, sacrifice, eroticism, repression and rebellion, Rama now is taking her rightful place at the center of current cultural dialogue.
