Independent: The Geometry of Play: American Game Boards, 1890 - 1925

New York, 8 - 11 May 2025 
For the 2025 edition of the Independent Art Fair, we are proud to present an exceptional collection of vintage American game boards created between the late 19th and mid-20th centuries. These once functional, visually compelling works, created by unknown artists, transcend their original purpose to align with the aesthetics of minimalism and geometric abstraction. Ricco/Maresca’s presentation, the first of its kind at a major art fair, decontextualizes these objects to celebrate their graphic beauty, materiality, and historical significance. This exhibition furthers the gallery’s mission to elevate self-taught and vernacular art into the modern and contemporary art discourse.
