View in a Room

Multiple with 12 aquatints

Fanfold II by Marco Maggi, created in 2014, is a large-scale mixed media sculpture that exemplifies Maggi’s meticulous and conceptual approach to art. This vertical structure resembles an elongated ladder with alternating sections of black and bright blue elements, forming a repetitive grid pattern. Each section appears to be formed by small individual segments, giving it a sense of fragility and precision. The piece consists of 12 aquatints, further emphasizing Maggi’s fascination with micro-details and subtle variations. The linear arrangement and minimalistic color palette offer a contemplative exploration of structure and form. This edition of 9000 exemplifies Maggi’s interest in creating a meditative dialogue between simplicity and complexity, inviting viewers to engage with the intricacies of its composition.

Marco Maggi (Uruguay, 1957) is an artist known for his intricate micro-drawings and sculptures that explore the relationship between information and perception. Utilizing everyday materials like office paper and aluminum foil, his meticulous works invite viewers to engage closely, challenging the boundaries between art and the mundane. Maggi represented Uruguay at the 2015 Venice Biennale.
