Considered a true maître penseur, Alighiero Boetti’s inventive practice spans drawing, painting, sculpture, embroidery, mail art, and weaving. One of the leading artists associated with the Arte Povera movement and a major figure of international conceptualism, he developed a body of diverse works concerned with the liminal space between polarities. Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers are honored to present a solo exhibition of works by Boetti on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the artist’s death. Celebrating the gallery’s flourishing collaborative relationship with Boetti during his lifetime, the show comprises artworks from four decades. Providing an overview of his seminal oeuvre will be works such as Insicuro Noncurante (1966–75), Tutto (1988) and Mappa (1989), “Biro” drawings (1975–78), selected “Arazzi” (1977–94), and Aerei (1983–89), alongside rich archival material.
