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).
