Joseph Marioni

The American artist Joseph Marioni is considered one of the most important exponents of "Radical Painting". During the 1970s, this artistic movement raised the question of whether painting can exist outside of the picture, detached from its original context. In the tradition of Sol LeWitt, Donald Judd and Robert Ryman, Marioni is one of America's most outstanding artists. Marioni uses a glazing technique in his work, applying the paint in several thin layers. In addition to Marioni's paintings, this catalogue also includes for the first time a broad range of graphical works produced over his 40-year career.
