Günther Förg's Meta-Paintings at Gió Marconi, Milan
Günther Förg (Füssen, 1952 – Neuchâtel, 2013) is presented more as an architect than a painter, sculptor, or photographer in a new exhibition at Gió Marconi in Milan. The show features his late small-scale paintings that replicate earlier acrylic works on canvas, displayed alongside their larger counterparts. This operation of rethinking and reflecting on his own work creates a meta-painting dimension, reversing the traditional artist's process from sketch to finished piece. The exhibition, titled 'Le coppie si passano la palla,' runs until May 21, 2016, at Via Tadino 20.
