Audible Presence explores the relationship between the time-based procedures employed by three of the most influential artists of the 20th century and the auditory experiences ofmusic, sound, and silence.
Curated by Dominique Lévy and Associate Director Jennifer G. Buonocore, and
organized with support from the Yves Klein Archives, Paris, and the Fondazione
Lucio Fontana, Milan, Audible Presence will present more than 30 paintings and
sculptures.
Spanning a thirty year period, Audible Presence reveals moments of conceptual and
formal resonance between carefully selected works of art by Fontana, Klein, and
Twombly.
Among the evocative, intimate, and experiential works of art on view will be an early environmental installation – Soffitto (1949) – conceived by Fontana for a private residence in Milan and never before exhibited in the United States.
