Gordon Matta-Clark Collection Exhibition in Rome
A Roman exhibition showcases Harold Berg's collection of Gordon Matta-Clark's works, assembled over a decade. The show includes drawings, photographs, and documents from the artist's brief but intense career in 1970s Soho, New York. Matta-Clark (1943-1978) was known for radical building cuts and social interventions. The collection preserves ephemeral works that might otherwise be lost.
