    MEG WEBSTER CONTENT About Meg Webster 3 Installation Views 4 Selected Sculptures with Prices 6 Selected Biography 11 Cover Image: Meg Webster, Model for Polished Tetrahedron for Sometimes Containing Water, Sometimes Containing Rain, 2013 All images © Meg Webster Courtesy Paula Cooper Gallery and Anne Mosseri-Marlio Galerie, Basel 2 MEG WEBSTER Meg Webster (US, 1944) works in post-minimal, land and conceptual art forms. Using natural materials, resources and metal to create monochromes, small and large sculptures is natural to Meg Webster. Origins matter - process as well. The polished “Copper Disk Sometimes Warmed by the Sun”, 2015, is reminiscent of an ancient object seen in a museum and the desire to touch it. In creating a larger disk and allowing it to be heated by the sun, one sees the energy flow and time pass. The inviting shape, warm metal and reflection react in unison to activate and channel energy. The Model for Polished Tetrahedron for Sometimes Containing Water, Sometimes Containing Rain, 2013 is 9 x 9 x 9 inches (ca. 23 x 23 x 23 cm) but is conceived as model for a larger sculpture approximately 1 meter high to be placed outdoors. As a model (edition of 6), it is an object of desire and reflection that can be placed facing up or on its side. Outside, it can contain rain and be looked into. This perfect shape executed in polished stainless steel allows light re- flections and confirms Webster as a post-minimalist, interested in the quality of our environment and well-being. The Titanium Hemisphere, 2008, symbolizes the perfect object made of very hard metal.

    You may download and print this text by Roberta Serpolli, solely for personal use THE PANZA COLLECTION STORY “The Panza Collection is entirely a couple’s affair. When my wife Giovanna and I discover works by a new artist, I look at her and she looks at me. I can see in her eyes if she wants to buy or not. So even between my wife and me, ‘looking’ is an issue.” Giuseppe Panza, 20091 Giuseppe Panza di Biumo, along with his wife Giovanna, is recognized as one of the world’s foremost collectors of contemporary art. The collection, originally composed of around 2,500 works of art, is mainly representative of the most significant developments in American art from post- World War II to the 21st century. Along with a need to fulfill spiritual and inner quests, both intuition and reflection have inspired the collectors’ choice that would demonstrate, retrospectively, their far- sightedness. By devoting themselves to an in-depth focus on emerging artists and specific creative periods, the Panzas contributed to acknowledging the new art forms among both the general public and the art market. The Beginnings of the Collection: On the Road to America The collection ideally began in 1954 when Giuseppe, at the age of thirty years, traveled to South America and the United States, from New York to Los Angeles, where he discovered the continents’ captivating vitality of economy and culture. Upon his return to Milan, he felt the need to take part in the international cultural milieu. In 1955, shortly after his marriage with Giovanna Magnifico, Giuseppe purchased his first work of art by Italian abstract painter Atanasio Soldati.

Troublemakers unearths the history of land art in the tumultuous late 1960s and early 1970s. The film features a cadre of renegade New York artists that sought to transcend the limitations of paint- ing and sculpture by producing earthworks on a monumental scale in the desolate desert spaces of the American southwest. Today these works remain impressive not only for the sheer audacity of their makers but also for their out-sized ambitions to break free from traditional norms.
