Lot Essay

‘A nestlike density cancels the transparency at the work’s core. Here and elsewhere, Accardi’s swift, repeated little strokes recall Giacomo Balla’s beams of electric light and soaring swallows’ (C. Accardi, quoted in M. Vetrocq, ‘Carla Accardi: A Desire for Contradiction’, in Art in America, June 2005, http:/www. artinamericamagazine.com/news-features/ magazine/carla-accardi-a-desire-for-contradiction/).
