Read our blog post on Marisa Merz's major retrospective at the Met Breuer through May 7. Written by Patrick W. Bova, Curatorial Intern. "”The Sky Is a Great Space”, [Marisa] Merz’s first major retrospective in the United States, celebrates an artist who has too long been left in the margins; Merz is now 90 and still lives and works in Turin. Opening with her earliest works from around 1965, when Merz crafted voluptuous foil sculptures in her home kitchen, the show delicately traces her exploration of many seemingly disparate forms. The array of media and scale in her work attests to the artist’s capacity to imbue even the “poorest” materials with synthetic serenity. The exhibition provides ample space for Merz’s sculpture—one can see Merz’s largest levitating foil work, Living Sculptures, as well as her petite knitted-copper wire shoes—while also offering a more intimate space to view the artist’s drawings." –to go drawingcenter.org and click on the lower left circle for the full post....
