The Modern and Contemporary Art Gallery of Turin is pleased to present the first major Italian exhibition dedicated to the American artist Mary Heilmann, born in San Francisco in 1940. The exhibition, curated by Chiara Bertola, director of the GAM, was realized in collaboration with the artist and Studio Heilmann in New York.

Mary Heilmann is one of the most important contemporary abstract painters. The exhibition traces sixty years of her career, from the early geometric paintings of the '70s to the recent shaped canvases in fluorescent colors. The sixty works on display span her joyful production to offer a broad view of her playful approach to abstraction, touching on foundational passages and thematic cores of her work.
