First US Survey of Lesser-Known Zero Group Artists at L&M Arts

exhibition · 2026-04-23

L&M Arts in New York presented a significant loan exhibition featuring works from museums and private collections. This show marked the inaugural American survey of a lesser-known faction associated with the Zero movement. While prominent Zero artists like Lucio Fontana have achieved recognition in the United States, this group had remained largely overlooked. These artists operated independently from traditional galleries, frequently organizing single-evening exhibitions in their own studios. They often accompanied these events with the issuance of manifestos. The exhibition provided a focused examination of their distinct practices and contributions.
