A project specially conceived by the artist, inspired by the masterpieces of the Cini Collection in Venice.
The story of Italy at the height of the economic miracle recounted through art.
A poignant, new artistic enquiry. Vertigo: Au Rendez-Vous des Amis presents the works of three extraordinary contemporary Italian artists, Francesco Candeloro, Riccardo De Marchi, and Arcangelo Sassolino. In this meeting of friends, arising out of the proposal to unite their apparently different approaches, lurk some marvelous snares for the senses. The book has been organized in a refined and unexpected manner so that each artist presents his works in a personal room, but subtly creates a sort of synesthesia, a relationship with the works of his neighbor, his friend, as if to shape cross-references and tensions that demand from the viewer an increase in attention, one that is subtle but necessary.
A complete and sumptuous survey of the brief but dazzling career of this great protagonist of Italian art.
The collection that shocked the Italian cultural scene with its sensational innovative charge. A tribute to Peggy Guggenheim, who in 1949 showed her collection at the Palazzo Strozzi in Florence.
The story of a seminal experience on the international art scene in the 1960s. In the postwar period characterized by wide-ranging experimentation involving major artists and international exchanges, Azimut/h played a key cultural and expressive role. Founded in 1959 with slightly different names by Piero Manzoni and Enrico Castellani, the gallery (Azimut) and the magazine (Azimuth) forged a new concept of aesthetics. In doing so, they were inspired by intense relationships developed with some of the leading figures exploring the language and theory of Italian and international art at the time. This book focuses on the Italian artists of that generation and the European and American reach of their work.
Seit den 1980er-Jahren wird die Frage nach der aktuellen Kunst Italiens diskutiert, die größtenteils noch immer ein Desiderat der Forschung und globalen Ausstellungslandschaft darstellt. Die Publikation gibt anhand ausgewählter Werke aus der Sammlung Schaufler einen Überblick über die italienische Gegenwartskunst. Im Mittelpunkt stehen historische, fiktive, visuelle und thematische Begegnungen italienischer Künstler mit Zeitgenossen, die in prägnanten Positionen zusammengefasst und nach Aspekten wie Raum, Design, Farbe, Material oder Fotografie gruppiert werden. Welche Bedeutung kommt der zeitgenössischen Kunst Italiens etwa im Kontext von Galerien und Museen und insbesondere bei der Biennale di Venezia und der Documenta zu? Parallelen zu anderen Strömungen und Unterscheidungsmerkmale sowie die Relevanz des italienischen Kunstschaffens für die internationale Kunstentwicklung seit den 1950er-Jahren werden sichtbar. Die vorgestellten Künstler (Auswahl): Monica Bonvicini, Lucio Fontana, Helen Frankenthaler, Alberto Garutti, Julia Mangold, Nam June Paik, Mimmo Paladino, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Mario Schifano, Ettore Spalletti, Günther Uecker Ausstellung: Schauwerk Sindelfingen 20.10.2013–14.9.2014
