Grazia Varisco

The monograph traces more than sixty years of the artist's research and activity.

The work of Grazia Varisco (Milan 1937) is among the most interesting and innovative on the contemporary European art scene, being bound up with research into kinetic, programmed or more generally "exact" art. The combinations of planning and chance, play and process, have produced a range of surprising and always coherent results.
The book reveals the complexity of the research carried out by this prominent artist of our modernity and documents the themes of her research and experimentation beginning in the '60s. New critical essays, a broad selection of works from Varisco's various artistic periods, and a scholarly apparatus make it a staple publication for understanding the artist in depth.

The monograph provides a comprehensive portrait of this extraordinary artist, who won the Premio Presidente della Repubblica for sculpture and the Premio Antonio Feltrinelli for Visual Arts from the Accademia dei Lincei, besides earning the title of Accademico di San Luca.
