  • Un Caso Singolare: Il Mercato Americano Di Leonardo Cremonini Durante Gli Anni ’50
    Davide Colombo Un caso singolare: il mercato americano di Leonardo Cremonini durante gli anni ’50 Abstract La fortuna critica e collezionistica di Leonardo Cremonini negli Stati Uniti tra il 1952 e il 1964 è costante e capillare, e si delinea come caso studio esemplare per comprendere specifiche caratteristiche dell’interesse americano per l’arte italiana fino all’inizio degli anni ’60 e certe dinamiche del sistema espositivo e del mercato statunitense. Il saggio – grazie anche a una serie di documenti inediti provenienti da archivi americani che colmano lacune e correggono errori della biografia dell’artista – ricostruisce le vicende espositive di Cremonini favorite dall’intensa ed efficace attività pubblicistica di Catherine Viviano, che nel 1950 apre a New York una galleria dedicata all’arte italiana, e la crescita del collezionismo museale e privato che va di pari passo a quello del valore di mercato delle sue opere. In particolare, si cerca di evidenziare le ragioni sistemiche e quelle specificatamente legate all’opera di Cremonini che possano spiegare la rapida ascesa di questo suo successo nel mercato americano e il suo ancor più veloce crollo. The good critical reception and collecting of Leonardo Cremonini’s artworks in US between 1952 and 1964 is constant and widespread, and it is an exemplary study case of understanding specific features of American interest in Italian art untill the early ’60s and particular dynamics of US exhibit and art market system. Thanks to a series of unpublished archives records that fill gaps and correct mistakes in the artist’s biography, the essay pieces together Cremonini’s exhibit activities facilitated by the incisive and efficient dealer actions by Catherine Viviano, who opened a gallery dedicated to Italian art in New York since 1950.
