Conrad Marca-Relli, born Corrado Marcarelli on June 5, 1913, in Boston, Massachusetts, and died on August 29, 2000, in Parma, Italy, was an American painter associated with the New York school of Abstract Expressionism.
In 1953, Conrad Marca-Relli left Manhattan for Springs, a hamlet in the town of East Hampton. He moved into a cottage near the estate of painter Jackson Pollock and his wife, Lee Krasner. The four years in Springs, where he focused on the monumental collages that would make his name, were among the most creative of his career. There, he perfected his technique, cutting shapes from rolls of canvas, moving them onto a background, before gluing them and painting over them when he liked what he saw. After 1961, he further developed his collages by experimenting with other materials such as plastics and metal.
Conrad Marca-Relli developed the art of collage toward a complexity and formats comparable to monumental painting, making collage his “signature.” He thus paved the way for the large-scale “combination paintings” of the neo-Dada artists of the 1960s.
