The monograph traces more than sixty years of the artist's research and activity.
The work of Grazia Varisco (Milan 1937) is among the most interesting and innovative on the contemporary European art scene, being bound up with research into kinetic, programmed or more generally "exact" art. The combinations of planning and chance, play and process, have produced a range of surprising and always coherent results.
This book, edited by Marco Meneguzzo, gives an account of over sixty years of continuous achievement through new critical essays, a broad selection of works and a scholarly apparatus that make it a staple work for understanding the artist in depth.
