The Artist
It’s hard to classify the work of Laura Grisi within a single group or artistic movement. At the time of her debut, around 1964, she was in frequent contact with the Scuola di Piazza del Popolo in Rome, and for this reason she is often included in Italian Pop Art. Grisi did not identify however in any specific tendency, preferring to occupy an autonomous and hybrid position that in her works would lead to elements of similarity with Programmed and Kinetic art, American Minimalism, Arte Povera and Process Art.
In the second half of the 1960s, she began travelling assiduously with her husband, the documentarist Folco Quilici, together with whom she reached the distant lands between South America, Africa and Polynesia. [...]Related artworks
