Giorgio Griffa

Giorgio Griffa occupies a singular position in the art world. Born in 1936 in Torino, where he still lives and works today, Griffa began in the mid-1960s to orient his painting towards abstraction. His treatment of paint and also his selection and handling of materials give eloquent testimony to Griffa’s investigations regarding the nature of painting, his own role as an artist, and fundamental questions of space and time.
