If it is not surprising how many mediums Bernar Venet has worked in, from sculpture to painting to photography to sound to furniture, it is surprising how many he has used in performance. From the first moments of "Performance dans les détritus" in 1961 through sound compositions corresponding to and implicating his visual work, to a ballet for which he wrote the music, created the choreography and designed both the set and costumes, Venet has been omnivorous, recording mathematical poems on vinyl, the engines of the Concorde on CD and finally the sounds of the creation of his own sculpture. In 2004, Venet had three simultaneous solo shows in New York City, two at the Robert Miller and Jim Kempner galleries and a third along the Park Avenue Mall, where his large-scale Indeterminate Line pieces were installed. In 2005 he was named Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur, France's highest decoration.

In 1952 Umbrian artist Alberto Burri scandalized art critics and audiences worldwide with burned wood, flame-red paintings, dramatic combustions of plastic, and a black that was the color of tar. Indifferent to the twin temptations of modishness and the market, Burri made a name for himself first in the United States and then in his native Italy. "Burri: Seen/Unseen" sets out to reveal many of Burri's previously unknown works. As such, it bears wintess to Burr's ability to continually invent new combinations of forms and materials, and documents his love for small-scale formats*which serve as proof that nontraditional materials can be used even in the most minute and precise forms of painting. "Burri: Seen/Unseen" traces the artist's creative activity from his earliest works to his later years and provides an in-depth examination of his excursions into previously unexplored aesthetic territories.
