NEW YORK, NY.- Marianne Boesky Gallery presents its first exhibition of the works of Alighiero Boetti using as its centerpiece the 1975 drawing “Tracce del racconto” (Tracing the story) to illustrate the artist’s studio practice from idea to object. The loosely drawn pencil and ink work on paper appears almost as a scroll, extending more than 12 feet, mapping Boetti’s systematic constructions. Fresh from the critical success of his recent solo exhibition “Inanimate Life” at our Chelsea gallery, artist Jay Heikes engages in a contemporary dialogue with Boetti. “It’s all about knowing the rules of the game. Those who don’t know the rules will never recognize the order that governs things…. I am of the opinion that each thing also contains its opposite.” Boetti’s practice was governed by his own systems wherein rules extend to not only his visual vocabulary
