Member Exhibition Tour: Giorgio Griffa—Paths in the Forest

Explore Giorgio Griffa: Paths in the Forest with Jed Surio, curatorial assistant. In his signature style, the artist records marks, lines, letters, and numbers in acrylic paint on unstretched, unprimed canvases which are stored folded when not on display. Over thirteen cycles of painting, each focused on a different compositional idea, Griffa tests the capacities of his materials and the limits of representation itself.

This tour is presented as part of Member Appreciation Week (July 20–24).
