Maria Lai. A Journey to America

Magazzino Italian Art

Cold Spring, New York

Through July 28, 2025

A thoughtful and extensive survey of Sardinian artist Maria Lai’s medium- and life-spanning body of work, “Maria Lai. A Journey to America” also explores formative national and international experiences on her art. Lai’s experiments with textiles and books forms are entirely contemporary, and her “Telai” (“Looms”), mostly wall-mounted compositions fashioned from cast-off materials like wood, string, plastic cutlery, and canvas, continue to exist in a category all their own.
