Exhibiting Italian Art in the United States from Futurism to Arte Povera
This volume explores how Italian institutions, dealers, critics, and artists constructed a modern national identity for Italy by exporting – literally and figuratively – contemporary art to the United States in key moments between 1929 and 1969. From artist Fortunato Depero opening his Futurist House in New York City to critic Germano Celant launching Arte Povera in the United States, Raffaele Bedarida examines the thick web of individuals and cultural environments beyond the two more canonical movements that shaped this project.

Cucina di Beuys
Figuring neither in the traditional culinary arts, nor in the current of "Eat Art, " this conceptual cookbook delves into Joseph Beuys' life-long theme of re-appropriating everyday objects and experiences into art. Incorporating ingestibles such as fat, chocolate, water, gelatin, fish, sugar, tea, honey, and beeswax into various works. Beuys comments on art as spiritual nourishment and as a cyclical, natural phenomenon in which we all participate. This new addition to the growing literature on this seminal 20th century figure features an essay by noted Beuys writer Lucrezia de Domizio Durini as well as two conversations with Beuys himself and over 300 images.

The Felt Hat
From the beginning of the Sixties until his death, Joseph Beuys (Krefeld, Germany, 1921 - Dusseldorf, 1986) dominated the contemporary avant-garde art scene. After participating in the Fluxus group's first exhibitions, he channeled his efforts into performance and political, social, and ecological projects. He founded cultural movements such as the Union for the New Democracy and the Free International University. Many of his conceptual propositions are memorable through their slogans: "All Men are Artists", "Kunst = Kapital", "We are the Revolution", "Defense of Nature". A participant in the most prestigious international exhibitions, from Kassel's "Documenta" to the Venice Biennial, Beuys also has important retrospective in 1979 at the Guggenheim Museum in New York. The artist's works are exhibited in the world's major museums. The anti-traditionalist ideas of Beuysian art aim to renew and improve the manner in which man lives. The German master's prophetic beliefs establish him as an emblematic figure as one of the forerunners in the post-war art world.
