Maria Morganti

‘In my practice I have focused on the experience of colour as trace and substance of existence. My works are sedimentations of time that carry within them the sense of perpetual transformation. What is generated in the solitude of the studio through a fluid progression is received and preserved within a complex system. If I had to explain myself in two words, I could declare myself to be a painter-archivist'. — Maria Morganti

On the occasion of Maria Morganti's first major anthological exhibition at the GAM in Turin, this book, edited by Elena Volpato, brings together an extensive photographic catalogue of the artist's works created between 1988 and 2024, alongside a series of previously unpublished shots showing her work and creative process.

An itinerary that accompanies us in the discovery of the practice of the pictorial gesture and the experience of colour, showing us the artist's archives, working tools, and the rooms where Maria Morganti has exhibited over the years. A 360-degree story through the simplicity of everyday acts that make up the complex chromatic diary of an existence.

Enriched by critical texts by Cristina Baldacci and Chiara Bertola.
