ongoing Artsupp card Carla Accardi

Curated by: Daniela Lancioni e Paola Bonani

The show

From 6 March 2024 Palazzo Esposizioni and the city of Rome will celebrate Carla Accardi (Trapani 1924-Rome 2014) on the occasion of the centenary of her birth, with a large anthological exhibition which, due to the number and importance of the works on display - including the Triple Curtain (1969-1971) from the Center Georges Pompidou in Paris - is the most comprehensive to date dedicated to the artist.

The exhibition, promoted by the Department of Culture of Rome Capital and Azienda Speciale Palaexpo, is conceived, produced and organized by Azienda Speciale Palaexpo and created with the collaboration of the Accardi Sanfilippo Archive and with the support of the Silvano Toti Foundation.

The care of the exhibition and the catalog is entrusted to Daniela Lancioni and Paola Bonani, curators of the Azienda Speciale Palaexpo.

A figure of absolute importance, Carla Accardi has been a protagonist of Italian and international visual culture for over half a century. Through his painting, continually redefined by radical choices, he contributed significantly to the birth and development of new ways of understanding the work of art, from the abstractionism of the immediate post-war period to the informal, from environmental painting to a art marked by the demands of feminism, up to the renewed joie de vivre embodied in the paintings of the 1980s and in the large diptychs and triptychs of the 1990s and 2000s.


A unique case among Italian artists of his generation, he established significant dialogues with younger artists and intellectuals over the various seasons of his work.

Approximately one hundred works on display, dating from 1946 to 2014, divided into a chronological path that includes portions of installations conceived by Carla Accardi herself, deduced from the photographic documentation which also allowed the reconstruction of the personal room at the 1988 Venice Biennale.

Thanks to these 'grafts', in planning the exhibition it was possible to rely on the 'exhibition writing' of the artist herself, thus being able to restore the extreme freedom with which she conceived the relationship between work and space, breaking down conventions and inaugurating new practices.

The masterpieces were chosen with the idea of both highlighting the germinal phases in Carla Accardi's work and presenting the works in which the artist expressed herself most radically and which proved seminal in the national and international context You will be able to admire his first oils on canvas, never exhibited. It will be possible to retrace the beginnings of the Forma team and verify the different phases of his work: the arrival at an original definition of the sign, the radicality of black and white and the subsequent iridescent appearance of colour, the dematerialisation of the body of painting and the discovery of the transparent sicofoil surface, the environments of the 1960s that were ahead of their time, the experiments of the 1970s and 1980s, up to the large diptychs of the 1990s and 2000s.
