Ben Nicholson, 1936 (White Relief), 1936 |
Sotto Voce, the second exhibition at Dominique Lévy looks to be as aesthetically thrilling as the first (see below). All the pieces in this show are abstract white reliefs - exhibited on grey walls. Artists featured include: Jean Arp, Ben Nicholson, Lucio Fontana, Piero Manzoni, Enrico Castellani, Fausto Melotti, Günther Uecker, Luis Tomasello, Sergio Camargo and Mira Schendel.
Despite the seeming
limitation of an exhibition consisting entirely of white monochromes, the works,
which broadly span the period from the
1930s to the 1970s, demonstrate a rich range of tone (from spiritual harmony to
unsettling aggression) and aesthetic affiliation ranging from Surrealism (Arp),
to Constructivism (Nicholson), to Spatialism and the Zero Group (Manzoni, Fontana,
Uecker).
