Betty Danon's Shift from Geometry to Language Explored in Naples
Tiziana Di Caro Gallery in Naples presents 'Enigma di fondo', a solo exhibition of Betty Danon (Istanbul, 1927 – Milan, 2002), curated by Antonello Tolve. The show marks a departure from the artist's earlier geometric abstractions, focusing on her transition to verbal and sonic experimentation in the 1970s. Works include 'Partiture asemantiche' (1973), 'Partiture astratte' (1974-75), and 'Poesie nel quadrato' (1973). Danon described a pivotal moment in 1977 when an inner voice compelled her to create a book and circulate it. The exhibition presents a chronological narrative of this enigmatic figure.
