Carla Accardi's Gold and Silver Works on View in Verona
Galleria Dello Scudo in Verona presents a rare selection of works by Carla Accardi (1924–2014) from 1964–1965, focusing on her use of gold and silver. The exhibition, organized with Archivio Accardi Sanfilippo, includes pieces like 'Scacchiera oroverde' (1965), previously shown at Galerie Stadler in Paris, and 'Ororosso (Oriente n.1)' and 'Oroblu (Oriente n.2)' (both 1965), which reference distant lands and her Sicilian heritage. A 1967 sicofoil triptych, originally designed for a FAO bas-relief in Rome, and a series of 1969 temperas on canvas complete the show. Critic Bruno Corà noted in 1985 that Accardi's works from this period already showed a strong interest in environmental projection through light. The exhibition runs until a date not specified in the source.
