Francesco Clemente: Two Tents
On 6 November 2014 Mary Boone Gallery will open at its Chelsea location Two Tents, an exhibition of new work by FRANCESCO CLEMENTE.
A tent fulfills a fundamental human need for shelter, yet nomadic peoples throughout history have fashioned them not only for physical protection, but as a psychic refuge. Francesco Clemente has spent his forty-year career as a nomad, proceeding from his native Italy and alighting for extended periods in New York, Brazil, and India. The
quest manifest in his work is for an understanding of the self that traverses geography and civilizations.
