Born in Trapani, Italy, Carla Accardi trained as a painter at the Academy of Fine Arts in Palermo and Florence, before moving to Rome in 1946. There, she quickly became part of the inner circle of the Art Club and met the artists with whom she would establish the influential postwar group Forma 1 (Form 1, 1947–51): Piertro Consagra, Piero Dorazio, Mino Guerrini, Achille Perilli, Antonio Sanfilippo (whom she would marry), and Giulio Turcato. The group’s manifesto, which Accardi signed in 1947, called for reconciling Marxist politics with abstract art. In the 1950s, Accardi engaged in far-reaching attempts to revolutionize abstraction through the hybridization of geometric abstraction and gestural painting, both in Italy, where she exposed in Arte astratta e concreta in Italia—1951 (Abstract and concrete art in Italy—1951) at the Galleria nazionale d’arte moderna, Rome, and in France, where art critic Michel Tapié took an interest in her work and placed her among the protagonists of his theory of art autre, alongside Burri, Capogrossi and Fontana.
Accardi began to introduce pseudo-calligraphic signs into abstract images, while reducing her palette to white-on-black compositions to explore the relationship between fore and background.
Then, the 1960s were a time of major stylistic changes. 1961 saw the first works created on sicofoil, a transparent plastic material used for the first time for art. By the mid-1970s the sicofoil was completely transparent, in twisting braids that emphasized the support and made the frame the protagonist (in a studied “ostension of the support and the frame” she would say, which certainly has a flavor touching on the conceptual). Works from this period include Tenda (1965), Ambiente Arancio (1967) and Triplice tenda (1969-71), presented in the Ambiente/Arte section of the 1976 Venice Biennale and proving influential for Arte Povera.
In the 1980s she returned to canvas and shifted her focus to the use of signs and chromatic juxtapositions.
Major solo shows include: Castello di Rivoli, Turin (1994), PS1 Contemporary Art Center (now MoMA PS1), New York (2001), Musée d’art moderne de la Ville de Paris (2002), Macro, Rome (2004), Fondazione Prada, Milan (2017) and Shanghai (2018), Museo del Novecento, Milan (2020), Palazzo delle Esposizioni, Rome (2024). Her work war included in major group exhibitions as Italian Art in the 20th Century, Royal Academy of Arts, London (1989); The Italian Metamorphosis 1943-1968, Guggenheim Museum, New York (1994).
