35 - ACCARDI CARLA (1924–2014) NEROROSSO. 1993. Vinyl on unprimed canvas. 60 x 80 cm. Signed and dated on the reverse: signature, title, and date. The work is currently being archived at the Accardi Sanfilippo Archive, Rome.PROVENANCE: Artist’s studio, Rome; Private collection, Olbia. Created in 1993, *Nerorosso* belongs to the mature phase of Carla Accardi’s career, in which, following her experiments with Sicofoil, she returned to working on canvas as a space for the interplay between mark, color, and surface. The raw canvas is not merely a background but plays an active role in the construction of the image, allowing the relationship between the red field and the black marks that traverse the composition to emerge. The chromatic contrast, devoid of any explicit symbolic intent, operates primarily on a perceptual level: the black sets the rhythm, while the red intensifies its visual presence. The work thus fits into the continuity of an essential and recognizable body of work, in which just a few elements suffice to define a rigorous, dynamic, and measured style of painting. Frame included
