A painter,
sculptor and installation artist, Marisa Merz was the sole female member of
that otherwise all-boy’s club known as Italian Arte Povera. The late-’60s
movement took a somewhat nihilistic approach to form and material, with works
that often looked like they’d been made out of refuse. Merz followed suit but
added some definite feminist flavor to the recipe. This show covering her
50-year career represents her first major retrospective in the United States.
