Rediscovering a master of Italian contemporary art.
Marco Carnà (1929-2021) was one of the most innovative artists of Italy’s post-war period. In the 1960s he engaged with Piero Manzoni, Enrico Castellani and Agostino Bonalumi, but at the peak of recognition chose creative freedom over market logic, withdrawing to his studio in Carnate, the town near Milan from which he took his art name.
His research ranges from shaped canvases to “Primary Structures”, clustered tubular forms representing infinite communication possibilities, through to major sacred art commissions including the stained-glass windows of Monza Cathedral.
Art’s beauty as bulwark against the passage of time. The 2026 calendar presents twelve works documenting over seventy years of passionate formal research.
