Sexuality, illness, death – these are the major human themes and fundamental experiences to which Carol Rama (1918–2015) dedicated her art. She is one of the outstanding artists of modernity who achieved fame only later in life. This richly illustrated catalog traces the various phases of the artist's extensive and extraordinary work – from watercolors and paintings to her bricolages: object montages in which Rama experimented with a wide range of materials. In addition to a comprehensive introduction by curator Martina Weinhart, who provides an in-depth look into the different phases of Rama's work, essays by Florian Werner and Elena Volpato explore specific aspects of her art. Companions of Rama, such as Lea Vergine and Eduardo Sanguineti, also contribute their insights. An extensive biography presents the most important milestones of Rama's long life and artistic career.

Tip:
Immerse yourself in Carol Rama's multifaceted and dense, poetic, and provocative visual worlds.
