A fascinating and singular figure in postwar art, Salvatore Scarpitta (1919–2007) created a powerful body of work that ranges from non-objective abstraction to radical realism.
Featuring key recent additions to the Hirshhorn's collection, this will be the first solo presentation of Scarpitta's work at an American museum in over a decade, and the first ever on the East Coast.
