Carla Accardi

This monograph is the first in English on a seminal artist, who, perhaps more than any other, helped to put an end to the marginalization of women in the Italian art scene, and who co-founded the Forma 1 movement in 1947. Her groundbreaking work in the use of color, and her role as a defender of abstraction during the 1950s, puts her at the forefront of Italian art of the mid-twentieth century.
