Ten years after her death, a tribute to the great Turin artist Carol Rama (1918-2015), whose international fame was recognised with the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the 2003 Venice Biennale.
Through an extensive retrospective, the over one hundred works on display, from private and public collections, document the artist's research from the 1930s to the early 2000s: the first watercolours, still linked to youthful fantasies and restlessness; the expressionist works of the 1940s and the more abstract and informal ones of the 1950s; the famous bricolage characterised by dolls' eyes, syringes, stones and caps; the rubbers, which distance themselves from the previous works and are made with portions of inner tubes, up to the Mad Cow cycle, which marks the epilogue of his artistic production.
Particularly striking is the exhibition Inside Carol Rama, in which a dozen photographs by the artist Bepi Ghiotti allow us to discover the magical world of furnishings and objects of the legendary house-studio in which Carol Rama lived for more than seventy years.
