NIELE TORONI | BLACK INSTALLATION

Marian Goodman Gallery, New York

Acquired from the above by the present owner in April 1989

“What renders the paint visible? The color of the impressions made by brush no. 50 repeated at regular 30 cm. intervals, their disposition, inscription, in that place, the place in itself, the dance between the paint and the non-paint. This to say one job of the painter (and not the artist!), is to try not to impose his obsessions nor artistic intents, but in accepting the constraints and the sole possibilities connected to one method of working.”

- Niele Toroni
