WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. —The Clark Art Institute presents the first solo museum exhibition in the United States of artist Giorgio Griffa (born in 1936 in Turin, Italy, where he lives and works).

"Giorgio Griffa: Paths in the Forest" is on view June 13 through October 12, 2026, in the galleries of the Lunder Center at Stone Hill.

"It is a great honor to present Giorgio Griffa's first solo museum exhibition in the United States, coinciding with the energetic artist's ninetieth birthday. The Clark provides an especially fitting setting, where Griffa's deep historical references and engagement with the natural world resonate with both our collections and the surrounding landscape,” said Olivier Meslay, Hardymon Director of the Clark.

"Giorgio Griffa considers himself a classical painter yet his work and his thinking—especially in its ecological dimensions—is bracingly contemporary,” said exhibition curator Robert Wiesenberger, John and Barbara Vogelstein Senior Curator of Contemporary Art at the Brooklyn Museum, former curator of contemporary projects at the Clark.
