Agostino Bonalumi: Small Gems
This volume examines the production of small-format works by Agostino Bonalumi. Known and acclaimed internationally as one of the most significant contributors to the European cultural debate since the 1960s, he succeeded in transcending the informalist language. The experience of looking at ?small gems? analyzed in this publication is rather like that of examining a miniature, a precious object. Something minute and exquisite, a self-contained microcosm whose value lies in its intrinsic and less conspicuous qualities. The challenge in cases like these is to construct a system of signs within a space that is clearly delimited and reduced to the indispensable. Thus the work becomes a point of contact between the imagination of the artist and that of the person who observes it. 00Exhibition: Cardi Gallery, Milan, Italy (27.05.-06.08.2021).
Manifesto
The book is published on the occasion of Mimmo Rotella's centenary, concurring with the largest ever exhibition dedicated to the artist.0Rich in critical contributions and a vast iconographic apparatus, the book traces every stage of the artist's career: from the first abstract works to the informal experiences of the 50s, from the relationship with Pierre Restany's Nouveau Réalisme to the tangencies with Pop Art and his relationship with America.0Extensive detail is dedicated to his most famous research, the one revolving around the décollages and the back of posters, but also to Rotella's relationship with cities such as New York, Rome, Paris and Milan, with the critics and his contemporaries.00Exhibition: Galleria Nazionale, Rome, Italy (30.10.2018-10.02.2019).
Mimmo Rotella, catalogue raisonné
The first volume of the Catalogue Raisonné of the works of Mimmo Rotella (Catanzaro, 1918 – Milan, 2006) is part of a more extensive systematic cataloguing project of the artist’s body of work by Germano Celant. The publication is being developed in partnership with the Mimmo Rotella Institute – established by Inna and Aghnessa Rotella in 2012 and directed by Antonella Soldaini – and the Mimmo Rotella Foundation, headed by Rocco Gugliemo. A scientific analysis and assessment is being conducted on the works executed during 1944–1961 – that is, from the artist’s experimental research phase (first through figurative painting, then through geometric abstraction) to his development...
Mimmo Rotella
Presenting a selection of the décollages (torn posters) and retro d'affiches (untouched poster versos) of Nouveau Réaliste pioneer Mimmo Rotella (1918-2006) from the late '50s and early '60s, this book situates these works in the artistic climate that helped foster them.
John Wesley
"Fondazione Prada presents, within the spaces of Fondazione Giorgio Cini in Venice, an anthological exhibition, curated by Germano Celant, of the American artist John Wesley (Los Angeles, 1928). The event, that will take place in parallel with the Venice Biennale, will be the larger and more complete exhibition ever realized on Wesley's activity, among the most important and significative figures in American modern art. On this occasion, more that 150 works from private collections and prestigeous international museums will be presented. Aiming at a deep examination of Wesley's complex language, the exhibition will maintain a strictly historical approach. Starting from the first works realiz...
