Molto interessante il confronto espressivo Giorgio Morandi e Josef Albers fra proposto dalla galleria David Zwirner di New York, 537 West 20th Street. Due artisti che hanno limitato il soggetto artistico a pochi elementi, ma con una grande capacità di svilupparlo in infinite versioni.

Albers and Morandi
Never Finished
A classic is a book that has never finished saying what it has to say. —Italo Calvino
David Zwirner is pleased to present Albers and Morandi: Never Finished, curated by gallery Partner David Leiber. On view at the gallery’s 537 West 20th Street location, the exhibition explores the formal and visual affinities and contrasts between two of the twentieth century’s greatest painters: Josef Albers (1888–1976) and Giorgio Morandi (1890–1964).
Both Albers and Morandi are best known for their decades-long elaborations of singular motifs: from 1950 until his death in 1976, Albers employed his nested square format to experiment with endless chromatic combinations and perceptual effects, while Morandi, in his intimate still lifes and occasional landscapes, engaged viewers’ perceptual understanding and memory of everyday objects and spaces.
