A cut and curated source of Asian Contemporary art
Cartellino in Italian, the “little paper” was a prominent marker in early Renaissance portraiture. Though innocuous, the cartellino would contain key details: the artist’s signature or the subject’s name, a personal motto, or religious salutation.
Cartellino is something similar, a supplement, for those looking to learn and engage with contemporary art. We draw attention to the little parts, a nugget of context, a nuanced response, to effect a thoughtful, timely nudge.
