Collateral Event of the 56th International Art Exhibition - la Biennale di Venezia

Based in New York, this is Ursula von Rydingsvard’s first exhibition in Italy and extends the life and reach of the artist’s 2014 exhibition at YSP – her most extensive project to date – which included more than 40 works of drawing and sculpture in the Underground Gallery and open air. One of America’s most inventive and individual artists, with work in collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art, von Rydingsvard has evolved a distinctive sculptural language that has cedar wood at its heart and is driven by a passion for form and surface.

The artist has made site specific public commissions and works for the open air since the 1970s and this exhibition extends her deeply felt interest in landscape and seeing her work placed in different contexts within the public realm. In the Giardino della Marinaressa, these six sculptures reflect the range of von Rydingsvard’s work across different materials and have been sited to integrate with the distinctive canopy of pine and poplar trees, the surrounding architecture, and the sea beyond.

The exhibition has been developed in association with the Municipalità di Venezia Murano Burano, coordinated in Venice by Ambiente e Arte, and is supported by the American and European Friends of Ursula von Rydingsvard, Luciano Giubbilei and Galerie Lelong.
