Exhibition Label: "NetWorks: Art and Artists from the Dorothy and Herbert Vogel Collection," Mar-2011, Susan Earle, Stephen Goddard, and SMA Interns Luccio Pozzi's long relationship with Herb and Dorothy Vogel began when they met in 1971 at an opening held at the artist-run 55 Mercer Gallery in New York. Pozzi's work can be disarmingly charming as well as formally rigorous, characteristics that come across in his own description of his approach to making art: “Mine is an ecumenical way of dealing with art, that stresses unfathomable feeling as much as describable method and places them within a wider network of references. Any kind of object touched by an artist-be it a painting or a forest or a machined item-is not an isolated token but a catalyst of individual and collective cognition.”
