    Trent’anni di chiavi di lettura Siamo arrivati ai trent’anni, quindi siamo in quell’età in cui ci sentiamo maturi senza esserlo del tutto e abbiamo tantissime energie da spendere per il futuro. Sono energie positive, che vengono dal sostegno e dal riconoscimento che il cammino fin qui percorso per far crescere ArtePadova da quella piccola edizio- ne inaugurale del 1990, ci sta portando nella giusta direzione. Siamo qui a rap- presentare in campo nazionale, al meglio per le nostre forze, un settore difficile per il quale non è ammessa l’improvvisazione, ma serve la politica dei piccoli passi; siamo qui a dimostrare con i dati di questa edizione del 2019, che siamo stati seguiti con apprezzamento da un numero crescente di galleristi, di artisti, di appassionati cultori dell’arte. E possiamo anche dire, con un po’ di vanto, che negli anni abbiamo dato il nostro contributo di conoscenza per diffondere tra giovani e meno giovani l’amore per l’arte moderna: a volte snobbata, a volte non compresa, ma sempre motivo di dibattito e di curiosità. Un tentativo questo che da qualche tempo stiamo incentivando con l’apertura ai giovani artisti pro- ponendo anche un’arte accessibile a tutte le tasche: tanto che nei nostri spazi figurano, democraticamente fianco a fianco, opere da decine di migliaia di euro di valore ed altre che si fermano a poche centinaia di euro. Se abbiamo attraversato indenni il confine tra due secoli con le sue crisi, è per- ché l’arte è sì bene rifugio, ma sostanzialmente rappresenta il bello, dimostra che l’uomo è capace di grandi azzardi e di mettersi sempre in gioco sperimen- tando forme nuove di espressione; l’arte è tecnica e insieme fantasia, ovvero un connubio unico e per questo quasi magico tra terra e cielo.

La mostra prosegue la fortunata serie “Classici del contemporaneo” dedicata al collezionismo della nostra provincia, che ha già proposto artisti come Kolàr, Demarco, Fontana, Munari, Birolli, Dorazio, Vedova, Fieschi, Adami, Baj ed esponenti della Nuova Figurazione. La curatrice della rassegna, la storica dell’arte Alessandra Corna Pellegrini, ha selezionato un nucleo essenziale di opere (34) che rappresentano esempi molto significativi dell’esperienza e del linguaggio di un movimento pur tanto complesso e così difficile da circoscrivere come l’Informale e dimostrano l’alta qualità delle collezioni bresciane, sia pubbliche sia private.

    HTTPS://DOI.ORG/10.14324/111.2396-9008.034 ‘A KIND OF FISSURE’: FORMA (1947-1949) Catherine Ingrams We declare ourselves to be Formalists and Marxists, convinced that the terms Marxism and Formalism are not irreconcilable, especially today when the progressive elements of our society must maintain a revolutionary avant-garde position and not give over to a spent and conformist realism that in its most recent examples have demonstrated what a limited and narrow road it is on.1 hese are the opening lines of Forma’s manifesto, signed in Rome in March 1947 by eight young artists: Carla Accardi, Ugo Attardi, Pietro TConsagra, Piero Dorazio, Mino Guerrini, Achille Perilli, Antonio Sanfilippo and Giulio Turcato. They had met during the previous year through the realist painter, Renato Guttuso, a fellow member of the Italian Communist Party (the PCI) and a would-be mentor to them. Guttuso was on a trip to Paris when Forma signed their manifesto in his studio, a place where he had been letting many of them stay. With its contemptuous dismissal of realism, together with the method of its execution, Forma’s manifesto came as a compound rejection of Guttuso’s art, his hospitality and his network of connections, and it acted as a deliberate gesture of rupture, one which announced Forma’s ambitions to belong to ‘a revolutionary avant-garde’. In the discussion that follows, I connect Forma’s rhetoric of rupture with a more complex socio-political context, and I move to engage their art as a gesture of historical resistance worked through their reimagined return to the theories of Russian Formalism.

  • Carroll Barnes (March 1–March 15) Carroll Barnes (1906–1997) Worked in Various Careers Before Turning His Attention to Sculpture Full Time at the Age of Thirty
    1950 Sculpture in Wood and Stone by Carroll Barnes (March 1–March 15) Carroll Barnes (1906–1997) worked in various careers before turning his attention to sculpture full time at the age of thirty. His skills earned him a position as a professor of art at the University of Texas and commissions from many public and private institutions. His sculptures are created in various media, such as Lucite and steel. This exhibition of the California-based artist’s work presented thirty-seven of his sculptures. Barnes studied with Carl Milles (1875– 1955) at the Cranbrook Academy of Art. [File contents: exhibition flier] Color Compositions by June Wayne (March) June Wayne’s (1918–2011) work received publicity in an article by Jules Langsner, who praised her for developing techniques of drawing the viewer’s eye through imagery and producing a sense of movement in her subjects. Her more recent works (as presented in the show) were drawn from the dilemmas to be found in Franz Kafka’s works. [File contents: two articles, one more appropriate for a later show of 1953 in memoriam Director Donald Bear] Prints by Ralph Scharff (April) Sixteen pieces by Ralph Scharff (1922–1993) were exhibited in the Thayer Gallery.

  • Alberto Burri: the Art of the Matter
    Alberto Burri: The Art of the Matter Judith Rozner A thesis submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Volume I – Text Volume II - Illustration March 2015 School of Culture and Communication. The University of Melbourne. Produced on archival quality paper i VOLUME I ii For Avraham and Malka Ur iii iv ABSTRACT "Alberto Burri, an Italian artist of the immediate post WWII period, introduced common, everyday materials into his art. In so doing material became both the subject of his work as well as the object out of which the work was made. This thesis argues that the primary purpose of Burri's work throughout his career was to provoke a tactile, sensuous response in the viewer, a response which can best be understood through the lens of phenomenology." v vi DECLARATION This is to certify that: I. The thesis comprises only my original work. II. Due acknowledgment has been made in the text to all other material used. III. The thesis is less than 100.000 words in length exclusive of tables, maps, bibliography and appendices. Judith Rozner vii viii Preface In 1999, following an introduction by a mutual friend, I was invited by Minsa Craig- Burri, the widow of the artist Alberto Burri, to help her compile a biography of her life with her husband.1 I stayed and worked on the manuscript at their home at 59, Blvd. Eduard VII, in Beaulieu-sur-Mar, in the South of France for about six weeks. I had not seen the artist’s work before my arrival, and on my first encounter with it I just shrugged my shoulders and raised my eyebrows at the high prices it commanded in the market.

  • Press Release April 2021 Carla Accardi Et Dadamaino, Between
    Carla Accardi and Dadamaino, 1987. ©Giorgio Colombo Press release April 2021 Carla Accardi et Dadamaino, Between sign and transparency Two Italian artists at the frontiers of abstraction May 20 - September 18, 2021 TORNABUONI ART PARIS 16 avenue Matignon 75008 Paris I let my hand fow freely. Thus the ensemble appears denser or more sparse at times, but I do not seek these diversifcations which come spontaneously and are possible in spite of myself. For the moment, I call these signs “The alphabet of the mind” because I believe that they are the codes of a personal language. Dadamaino Accardi’s painting is rather a painting of unrestrained signs, a painting in search of the extreme tension between the rational and the irrational, between positive and negative. Her labyrinths deploy a sensual magnetism, cultivating a ferment that tends towards an agglomeration of materials and colors – limitless, structural and environmental. Germano Celant The exhibition Carla Accardi and Dadamaino: Between sign and transparency. Two Italian artists at the frontiers of abstraction exhibits works by Carla Accardi (1924- 2014) and Dadamaino (1930-2004). The exhibition approaches the artists through their research surrounding signs that they deploy in a new way, particularly on transparent supports, inviting a radical rethinking of the notion of “reading” the work of art. Carla Accardi and Dadamaino share a freedom and independence that led them to adhere to diferent artistic movements while at the same time freeing themselves from dogmatic frameworks. They created two unique paths for themselves, two distinct artistic vocabularies linked by an interest for writing and for transparency.

  • Werner Haftmann As the Director of the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin
    692 V. Benedettino УДК: 7.036(4), 069.02:7 ББК: 79.17 А43 DOI: 10.18688/aa200-5-66 V. Benedettino Werner Haftmann as the Director of the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin (1967–1974): Survey of the Curatorial Concept in the West German National Modern Art Gallery during the Cold War The following paper will present preliminary results related to key aspects of Werner Haft- mann’s curatorial activity as the director of the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin from 1967 un- til 1974. The archival research was undertaken in several public archives in Germany and Italy in the frame of my Ph. D. at Universität Heidelberg and École du Louvre in Paris1. Firstly, Haftmann’s biography will be briefly outlined in order to contextualize his career as an art historian in the first half of the 20th century in Germany, Italy, and after World War II in West Germany. Afterwards, the circumstances of his appointment as the director of the Neue Na- tionalgalerie, built by the renowned architect Mies van der Rohe in West Berlin from 1965 until 1968, will be discussed. Finally, Haftmann’s curatorial concept concerning temporary exhibitions and artworks purchase policy, in addition to his statement about the mission of a national modern art museum will be highlighted. The professional career of Werner Gustav Haftmann (1912–1999) must be analysed in the light of the turbulent political and historical events that occurred in Germany during the 20th century. The art historian started a successful career in the 1930s during the repressive Nazi regime and consolidated it after World War II, in the time of West Germany’s recon- struction.

  • Carte Italiane, Vol
    Italian Art circa 1968: Continuities and Generational Shifts^ Adrian R. Diinin Mciìipliis Coìh'iic o/Art Nineteen sixty-eight has long beei) heralded as a, it not tlic, pivotal moment of the post-World War II decades. Following the assassina- tions of Malcolm X and both Kennedys, the erection of the Beriin Wall, the war in Vietnam, the first manned space flights, the Second Viitican Council and the invasion of technology throughout Europe, that single year was perhaps the most powerful and tectonic paradigm shift of the many that the decade already had witnessed. The student uprisings in Paris, the assassination of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and the invasion of Prague by Wirsaw Pact troops ali exacerbated what had been a markedly violent period, quelling the optimism that had markcd much of the decade and setting the tone for the coming malaise ot the 1970s. Italy, too, was participant in these epochal events, albeit in a sonie- what different nianner. Its students' uprisings began slightly earlier than those of France; the occupation of the University ofTrento took place in the autumn ot l*-'67. These were followed by workers' protests, with massive strikes in the first half of the year. However, the national elec- tions ot 1968 diverted much attention, and uniquely peculiar events, including the June 10''' European Championship victory overYugoslavia (2-0) and the declaration of the Republic of Rose Island off of the coast ot Rimini, made for a varied experience. Artistically, 1968 saw Italy peering across new, unexplored ter- rain. Over the course ot the prcvious few years, a group of exhibitions throughout the country began introducing those who would soon he known as (irte povcni.- The nomenclature itself was debuted at the September 1967 "Arte povera - Im spazio" exhibition held at Genoa s La Bertesca gallery, though its protagonists held noteworthy shows atTurin's Sperone gallery and Rome's L'Attico in the years preceding.

  • Roma 1950 - 1965” an Exhibition Curated by Germano Celant Presented by Fondazione Prada 23 March – 27 May 2018 Prada Rong Zhai, Shanghai
    “ROMA 1950 - 1965” AN EXHIBITION CURATED BY GERMANO CELANT PRESENTED BY FONDAZIONE PRADA 23 MARCH – 27 MAY 2018 PRADA RONG ZHAI, SHANGHAI “Roma 1950-1965,” conceived and curated by Germano Celant and presented by Fondazione Prada, will open to the public from 23 March to 27 May 2018 within the spaces of Prada Rong Zhai in Shanghai. The exhibition explores the exciting cultural climate and lively art scene that developed in Rome during the period following the World War II, bringing together over 30 paintings and sculptures by artists including Carla Accardi, Afro Basaldella, Mirko Basaldella, Alberto Burri, Giuseppe Capogrossi, Ettore Colla, Pietro Consagra, Piero Dorazio, Nino Franchina, Gastone Novelli, Antonio Sanfilippo, Toti Scialoja and Giulio Turcato. Within a historical context characterized by the Italian economic boom and an increasing industrialization, the intellectual and artistic debate focused on notions of linguistic renewal and political commitment. In Italy, from the mid-1940s, innovation was embodied from a literary and cinematographic perspective through the neorealist movement, represented by film directors such as Luchino Visconti, Roberto Rossellini and Vittorio De Sica, while writers and intellectuals like Elio Vittorini and Cesare Pavese created an extraordinary period of experimentalism and international openness. In the art scene, people witnessed the spread of ferocious debates and polemics, as well as the proliferation of opposing groups and theoretical positions. Rome was one of the most vital epicenters of this clash of ideas which translated into a rethinking of idelogical realism, promoted by artistic figures like Renato Guttuso and Giacomo Manzù, as well as into an attempt to reconcile collective life with individual experience, abstraction with political militancy, art with science.

    Tate Papers Issue 12 2009: Walter Grasskamp http://www.tate.org.uk/research/tateresearch/tatepapers/09autumn/gras... ISSN 1753-9854 TATE’S ONLINE RESEARCH JOURNAL Landmark Exhibitions Issue To Be Continued: Periodic Exhibitions ( documenta , For Example) Walter Grasskamp Between 1978 and 1983 I worked for the German art magazine Kunstforum International that planned to publish its fiftieth volume in 1982, the year of the seventh documenta . I proposed that we should dedicate the issue to the history of the documenta , combining our minor jubilee with the major event that had re-established West Germany as an international forum of modern art in 1955. Having heard that a documenta archive existed in Kassel, I expected that little work would be needed. ‘Just grab the photos and run’, I thought, but I was wrong. The archive in Kassel turned out to be quite a respectable library, consisting of catalogues and books on modern and contemporary art, most of them debris from the previous six exhibitions sent in by gallerists and artists, or bought for, and left behind by, the various exhibition committees. More appropriate to the name and function of an archive was an impressive collection of press clippings and reviews, stored in folders that also contained letters, drafts and other material written by the founders and curators of the first six documentas . When I asked for installation photographs of the exhibitions, however, I was shown a metal locker in the corner of the room, brim-full of envelopes and files containing heaps of photographs and papers. But it seemed that the locker had been opened for me for the first time in years: a quick examination showed that most of the photographs were unsorted and had no comments, or only laconic comments, on the back, some not even giving the number of the documenta in which they had been taken.
