Galleria Raffaella Cortese presents an extensive solo show by Roni Horn, focusing exclusively on drawing and exploring some of its semantic expansions. The exhibition includes a large selection of recent works on paper from some of her most celebrated series from the years 2016 – 2023, many of which never exhibited in Italy, such as Frick and Fracks, Wits’ End Mash, a new evolution of the LOG series, and Slarips.

Drawing has been a central and constant element in Horn’s practice for nearly 40 years, playing a crucial role on a spiritual level as a tool for intimate inquiry into her own identity. Horn describes it as a “primary activity,” aimed at exploring linguistic limits and sculptural potential through processes of constructing, deconstructing, and reconstructing images and texts.
