Read our latest blog post on ‘Carol Rama: Antibodies’ at New Museum by Kara Nandin, Visitor Services Associate. Rama's work is on view through September 10. 〰
""Carol Rama: Antibodies", brings widespread attention to the Italian artist, who was previously pushed to the fringes of the avant-garde; the New Museum show, which includes more than one hundred works created throughout Rama’s lifetime, is the artist’s first solo exhibition in New York. The single-floor presentation of Rama’s work traces the artist’s career from early figurative watercolors, which picture hospital patients, to later abstract bricolage paintings and industrial sculptures. Rama, whose work is set stylistically apart from many of her contemporaries, continually drew on her personal life as a reference for her art. The New Museum exhibition opens with a quote from an artist, which describes the pithy character of her work: “I didn’t have any models for my painting; I didn’t need any, having already four or five disasters in the family, six or seven tragic love stories [….] They’re all things that were enough for me to have subjects to work on […] I didn’t have any painters as masters, the sense of sin was my master.”"-go to drawingcenter.org and click on the lower left circle for the full post.
