He holds an exhibition presented by Achille Bonito Oliva, at the Portici Gallery (Naples). 1969 Enzo Cannaviello’s Lo Studio Oggetto in Caserta organizes his solo exhibition. 1973 He begins to combine images in mixed technique, creating a complex iconography that takes into account an extraordinary mix of messages, strangely opposed and divergent, yet blended together. 1977 He moves to Milan. 1978 First trip to New York. 1980 He is invited by Achille Bonito Olivo to participate in the Aperto ’80 at the Venice Biennial along with Sandro Chia, Francesco Clemente, Enzo Cucchi and Nicola De Maria.

  • Mimmo Paladino (1948 - )
    Mimmo Paladino (1948 - ) Isola Watercolour. Signed, titled, inscribed and dated Agosto 1982 ISOLA / Argentouli.(?) casa pellica(?) / Mimmo Paladino on the verso. 255 x 333 mm. (10 x 13 1/8 in.) As the artist has stated, ‘I really draw. It is easy for me. In reality, the less struggle there is for me the better I produce. It is not that I have a mentality that preplans, but I feel that drawing is about the impalpable…transparency.’ Executed in August 1982, this watercolour can be related to a later painting of the same title L’Isola (The Island), dating from 1993 and depicting a human figure resting alongside a small island in the midst of a sea, in the Würth collection in Germany. Provenance: Acquired from the artist by Galerie Bel’Art, Stockholm Anonymous sale, London, Sotheby’s, 27 June 1985, lot 763 Stanley J. Seeger, London. Artist description: A sculptor, painter and printmaker, Domenico (Mimmo) Paladino was a leading member of the Italian artistic movement known as Transavanguardia. The term, which can be translated as ‘beyond the avant- garde’, was coined by the art critic and curator Achille Bonito Oliva in 1979 to refer to a small group of young Italian artists - Sandro Chia, Francesco Clemente, Enzo Cucchi, Nicolo de Maria and Paladino - who each displayed a neo-expressionist tendency in their work. The artists of the Transavanguardia group came to public prominence at the 1980 Venice Biennale, and at the height of its success in the 1980s was to become one of the most influential artistic movements of post-war Italian art.

(February 05, 2015) Ierimonti Gallery opens its new location in New York presenting an overview of the extensive and prolific Italian art panorama of the 1970s and the 1980s. Luciano Bartolini, Bruno Benuzzi, Alighiero Boetti, Pierpaolo Calzolari, Enzo Cucchi, Nicola De Maria, Antonio Michelangelo Faggiano, Jannis Kounellis and much more. Page 1 of 2 Back to the '80s : From Arte Povera to the Rediscovery of Nuovi Nuovi Published on iItaly.org (http://iitaly.org) While politics and economics underwent a profound transformation and culture transitioned from progressive modernism to the postmodernist weak thought, Italian art at the time elaborated old and new themes using the most disparate materials. Artists shifted from using industrial materials such as iron, coal, wood bundles, neon, mirrors, terracotta—common in Arte Povera [2] (Mario Merz, Jannis Kounellis, Alighiero Boetti, Pierpaolo Calzolari, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Emilio Prini)—to dismantling installations and favoring paint and color—popular among Transavanguardia [3], Anacronisti and Nuovi Nuovi. A new creativity flourished in those transitional years: the harsh ideology of the economic miracle years and the 1968 protest gave way to reconnecting with the past. The new generation of artists after Arte Povera and Conceptualism [4] rediscovered the value of painting, history and two-dimensionality, while maintaining an evolutionary vision of art. The world, explored through the installations and actions of the 1960s and 1970s, dematerializes into the canvas with the birth of Transavanguardia (Mimmo Paladino, Sandro Chia, Enzo Cucchi, Francesco Clemente, Nicola De Maria) launched by Achille Bonito Oliva in the mid-1970s.

  • Francesco Clemente
    FRANCESCO CLEMENTE Francesco Clemente, artista italiano, nasce a Napoli nel 1952. Il suo lavoro si è diffuso a metà anni ’70 con dipinti vivaci e ricchi di immagini erotiche e sognanti. Affascinato dall’arte indiana e dal misticismo, i suoi dipinti a gouache e disegni a pastello sono particolarmente noti per il loro intenso e arcano contenuto quasi religioso, che è divenuto sempre più surreale nelle sue opere più recenti. Attualmente vive e lavora tra New York e Varanasi (IN). Francesco Clemente is an Italian artist, born in 1952 in Napoli. His work became popular in the mid-1970s, with vivid paintings characterized by an erotic and oniric imagery. Fascinated by Indian art and mysticism, in his gouache paintings and pastel drawings there is a great component of intense and arcane religious content, which becomes more surrealist in his last works. He currently lives and works between New York and Varanasi (IN).

  • Francesco Clemente Was Born in 1952 in Naples, Italy. He Studied
    FRANCESCO CLEMENTE Francesco Clemente was born in 1952 in Naples, Italy. He studied architecture at the Università degli Studi di Roma, La Sapienza in Rome in 1970, before turning his focus instead to art. Clemente came to prominence in the late 1970s and cemented an international reputation with his participation in the 39th edition of Venice Biennale in 1980. He is most closely associated with the Transavanguardia movement in Italy and recognized as an influential figure of Neo-Expressionism in the United States. Clemente’s generation came of age amidst the politicization of Italy, where conceptual artistic strategies and the dogmatism of Arte Povera prevailed. Against this background of conflict, Clemente chose to concentrate on painting as a model of inner reconciliation and went on to explore a contemplative and symbolic mode of painting that revolved around images of the body as the boundary between inner and outer self. Surrounded by anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist activities in Rome, social and cultural upheaval, and the dogmas of consumerism that plagued Western Europe, Clemente fiercely sought alternative narratives and images of contemporaneity, and found creative refuge in the philosophical, spiritual, and aesthetic ideologies of the East. Clemente travelled to India for the first time in 1971 and later visited Afghanistan with his friend and mentor Alighiero e Boetti. Before settling and establishing his studio in New York in 1980, Clemente lived on and off for ten years in India, where he studied Sanskirt as well as Hindu and Buddhist literature, educating himself in the library of the Theosophical Society in Chennai (formerly Madras).

  • The Museum of Modern Art
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release November 1989 FOR 2 0 YEARS: EDITIONS SCHELLMANN November 16, 1989 - March 13, 1990 An exhibition celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the publisher Editions Schellmann opens at The Museum of Modern Art on November 16, 1989. Organized by Wendy Weitman, assistant curator, Department of Prints and Illustrated Books, FOR 20 YEARS: EDITIONS SCHELLMANN includes over thirty works donated by the Munich-based publishing firm. The exhibition is on view in the Tatyana Grosman Gallery on the Museum's third floor through March 13, 1990. Jorg Schellmann's main goal as a publisher has always been the democratization of art through the wide distribution of editioned works. Focusing on artists working within an intellectual framework, his publications are characterized by a fresh and innovative graphic nature. Schellmann met Joseph Beuys in 1969, and, during a collaboration which lasted until the artist's death in 1986, he published over twenty projects. Schellmann's commitment to Beuys's genius resulted in a body of historic editions that includes the artist's final multiple, Iphigenia/Titus Andronicus (1985), made from photographic negatives of a 1969 performance in Frankfurt. - more - 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019-5498 Tel: 212-708-9400 Cable: MODERNART Telex: 62370 MODART 2 Throughout the 1970s, Schellmann published mainly European artists, but his attraction to Pop Art and especially his fascination with Andy Warhol drew him to New York, where he published his first Warhol project, a portfolio of three silkscreen portraits titled Joseph Beuys (1980). In 1982 Schellmann turned to the new generation of Italian painters—Sandro Chia, Francesco Clemente, Enzo Cucchi, and Mimmo Paladino—who were already experienced printmakers.
