Peter Marino Art Foundation Highlights Carla Accardi and Betty Parsons

Architect and collector Peter Marino discusses the fifth anniversary of the Peter Marino Art Foundation in Southampton, New York, and his passion for Italian abstract painter Carla Accardi. The foundation, conceived by his wife Jane, showcases works from Marino's extensive collection. Marino pairs Accardi with American artist Betty Parsons in a new exhibition, noting their parallel boldness as female abstract painters in the mid-20th century. Accardi, who experimented with plastic and unconventional materials in the 1960s, influenced Arte Povera and was a committed feminist. Marino admires her abstraction and color sense. The exhibition underscores Marino's long-standing focus on women artists.
