Marco Arce — 26 Variations on Piero Manzoni
Marco Arce

26 Variations on Piero Manzoni

A meticulous series of 26 ink drawings on paper, Marco Arce's work pays homage to the provocative legacy of Italian conceptual artist Piero Manzoni, reinterpreting his radical gestures through repetition and variation. Each of the 26 parts functions both as an autonomous work and as a component of a larger meditation on authorship, originality, and the boundaries of art-making. The intimate scale of ink on paper grounds the series in a tradition of draftsmanship while simultaneously questioning the very nature of artistic production.
