http://www.rubinmuseum.org/exhibitions/clemente

The Rubin Museum of Art is showing a major survey on the work of Francesco Clemente that illuminates the previously underexplored influence of Indian culture on the acclaimed artist’s oeuvre. On view now until February 2, 2015, Francesco Clemente: Inspired by India marks the first-ever exhibition dedicated to the work that Clemente created while living in India, an extended period of cross-cultural exchange that has shaped the artist’s creative vocabulary over the past four decades. Rarely exhibited works from Clemente’s early practice will be displayed alongside new sculptures created especially for the Rubin exhibition, highlighting Clemente’s continuing engagement with Indian artistic traditions.
