Author Description

As a self-taught artist who confidently forged her own path, Carol Rama (1918-2015) pursued an inventive approach to structure and composition, seasoning her art with unconventional mediums, industrial material, provocative imagery and psychologically charged legends. Accompanying an exhibition at the Archivio Carol Rama at the Palazzo Ca' nova in Venice, this publication includes full-color illustrations of Rama's works featured in the show--an unprecedented selection representing the broad range of materials and styles that comprise her iconoclastic oeuvre. The catalog also features newly commissioned texts by curator and founder of Participant, Inc. Lia Gangitano and Turin-based novelist Andrea Bajani, as well as an introduction by Maria Cristina Mundici and Raffaella Roddolo of the Archivio Carol Rama.
