Art Basel Miami Beach: Greta Schödl

5 - 8 December 2024 

For Art Basel Miami Beach's Survey section (Booth S12), Richard Saltoun Gallery presents a solo booth dedicated to pioneering Austria-born, Bologna-based artist, Greta Schödl (b. 1929) following her inclusion in this year’s Venice Biennale. This marks her second participation in the Biennale following its 38th edition in 1978. Her solo exhibition Greta Schödl: 70 Years of Work is concurrently on view at Richard Saltoun Gallery Rome. 

 

Schödl is considered one of the most significant living artists working in the field of visual poetry (Poesia Visiva), with a practice spanning over seven decades that continues to redefine the relationship between language, material, and meaning. Her distinctive visual language deconstructs text and blurs the boundaries between writing, abstraction, and symbolic iconography. Her mythical compositions incorporate obsessively repeated letters and symbols, often rendered abstract through their intensity, traced across domestic objects such as pillow cases, fabrics and old books. 

 

The stand will feature works from the 1970s until today, including large-scale canvases, works on paper and marble sculptures, as shown in the Venice Biennale.
