And Variations – Post-Wa Art from The Palazzo Venier dei Leoni 701 Dorsoduro 30123 Venezia, Italy Telephone 041 2405 411 Telefax 041 5206885 Press release THEMES AND VARIATIONS POST-WAR ART FROM THE GUGGENHEIM COLLECTIONS February 2 – August 4, 2002 On Friday 1st February 2002, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice, will inaugurate Themes and Variations – Post-war Art from the Guggenheim Collections. Curated by Luca Massimo Barbero, this 6-month cycle of installations will assemble paintings, sculptures and works on paper - both European and American, but predominantly Italian – from the holdings of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, New York, with a small number of additional private loans. This dynamic and innovative project sets out to provide a fuller understanding and contextualization of the post-war works in the Peggy Guggenheim Collection. A series of three two-month installations – examining in turn a succession of movements and artists with which Peggy Guggenheim was affiliated first in New York and later Venice - will present works by a strong group of post-war 20th century artists, including Edmondo Bacci, Francis Bacon, César, Joseph Cornell, Jean Dubuffet, Marcel Duchamp, Alberto Giacometti, Asger Jorn, Bice Lazzari, René Magritte, Henry Moore, Ben Nicholson, Mimmo Rotella, Giuseppe Santomaso, Tancredi, Laurence Vail, Victor Vasarely and Emilio Vedova. Themes and Variations provides an opportunity to present for the first time recent acquisitions of post-war art, including important works by Carla Accardi, Agostino Bonalumi, Costantino Nivola, Mimmo Rotella and Toti Scialoja, alongside previously acquired works by Edmondo Bacci, Lucio Fontana, Conrad Marca-Relli, Giuseppe Santomaso and Armando Pizzinato. A series of private loans will further strengthen the representation of Italian post-war art; it is in this context that the work of Mirko Basaldella will be presented in depth in the course of the initial February- March installation. Throughout the 1950s Peggy Guggenheim both promoted and collected the art of an emerging group of young Italian artists in Venice, among them Bacci, Pizzinato, Santomaso, Tancredi and Vedova. Unknown to her, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York was at the same time assembling its own collection of works by Italian artists of the same generation such as Afro, Burri and Capogrossi. When in 1976 the collection of Peggy Guggenheim was merged with that of the museum founded by her uncle, their respective holdings of Italian post-war art were found to be remarkably complementary. This depth and diversity forms the basis of the current exhibition, and for that reason a number of key post-war works, by artists such as Alberto Burri, Lucio Fontana and Piero Manzoni, will be borrowed from the collection of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York. A selection of Italian post-war paintings and sculptures from the combined Guggenheim collections will then be offered to exhibition venues within Italy, accompanied by a catalogue to be published at the conclusion of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection presentation.

Organized in cooperation with the artist and the Archivio Bonalumi, the exhibition will examine the work of Bonalumi during the 1960s and 1970s in relationship with the other artists of the Azimut group. The exhibition will bring together pivotal examples of Bonalumi´s shaped canvas with early experimental works by his friends and collaborators in the Azimut project: Enrico Castellani, Piero Manzoni, Dadamaino, and their guide Lucio Fontana. A selection of Bonalumi’s paintings from the beginning of the 60s to the late 70s, including some unpublished and never before exhibited canvases from Italian private collections, will form the core of the exhibition and will reaffirm the important role played by this internationally lesser known artist in the development of Modern Art in Italy.

    You may download and print this text by Roberta Serpolli, solely for personal use THE PANZA COLLECTION STORY “The Panza Collection is entirely a couple’s affair. When my wife Giovanna and I discover works by a new artist, I look at her and she looks at me. I can see in her eyes if she wants to buy or not. So even between my wife and me, ‘looking’ is an issue.” Giuseppe Panza, 20091 Giuseppe Panza di Biumo, along with his wife Giovanna, is recognized as one of the world’s foremost collectors of contemporary art. The collection, originally composed of around 2,500 works of art, is mainly representative of the most significant developments in American art from post- World War II to the 21st century. Along with a need to fulfill spiritual and inner quests, both intuition and reflection have inspired the collectors’ choice that would demonstrate, retrospectively, their far- sightedness. By devoting themselves to an in-depth focus on emerging artists and specific creative periods, the Panzas contributed to acknowledging the new art forms among both the general public and the art market. The Beginnings of the Collection: On the Road to America The collection ideally began in 1954 when Giuseppe, at the age of thirty years, traveled to South America and the United States, from New York to Los Angeles, where he discovered the continents’ captivating vitality of economy and culture. Upon his return to Milan, he felt the need to take part in the international cultural milieu. In 1955, shortly after his marriage with Giovanna Magnifico, Giuseppe purchased his first work of art by Italian abstract painter Atanasio Soldati.

  • ITALIAN NEO-RENAISSANCE: Bonalumi Scheggi 5 – 28 May 2015
    ITALIAN NEO-RENAISSANCE: Bonalumi Scheggi 5 – 28 May 2015 ROBILANT+VOENA in NEW YORK at Moretti Fine Art, 24 East 80th Street, 10075 New York Opening hours: Tuesday to Saturday, 10am to 6pm Scheduled to coincide with Frieze New York and the broader program of art events in the city during May, ROBILANT+VOENA will present a survey of the Italian post-war Neo-Renaissance focusing on two key artists – Agostino Bonalumi and Paolo Scheggi. In 1966 these artists, alongside Enrico Castellani, were selected by Alfredo Bonino to represent the thriving Milanese art scene in his seminal exhibition Italy – New Tendencies (Galeria Bonino, NYC, Oct 11-Nov 4, 1966). Nearly fifty years later ROBILANT+VOENA will re-present their work to the New York public, in an exhibition curated by Francesca Pola, investigating their crucial role in the development of the Italian cultural landscape of the 1960s, alongside singular works by Lucio Fontana and Alberto Burri. The work of these artists matched radical experimentation with a classical background, and balanced breakthrough innovation with a distinct awareness of historical continuity. These developments represented a Neo-Renaissance where the most advanced achievements in creating a new relationship between matter, space and perception gave birth to a new and original “classic” vision. Alberto Burri and Lucio Fontana, with their crucial pioneering concepts of matter and space can be considered the double root of Italian Postwar art as a whole, and also of this specifically classical perspective. Agostino Bonalumi and Paolo Scheggi developed the relationship between shape and matter in strongly innovative ways: in their plastic use of monochrome to create three-dimensional shaped and environmental works, as well as the tactile physicality of their pieces.

When La Biennale di Venezia Meets History does not just convey the content that visitors to the Central Pavilion in the Giardini della Biennale will encounter, but also a vision. Disquiet serves as a driving force behind research, which requires dialogue to verify its theories and needs history to absorb knowledge. This is what La Biennale does and will continue to do as it seeks to reinforce a methodology that creates even stronger bonds between its own disciplines. There are six Muses at the Biennale: Art, Architecture, Cinema, Theatre, Music and Dance, given a voice through the great events that fill Venice and the world every year. There are the places that serve as venues for all of La Biennale’s activities: the Giardini, the Arsenale, the Palazzo del Cinema and other cinemas on the Lido, the theatres, the city of Venice itself.

  • UNFOLDING of HISTORY. AGOSTINO BONALUMI, SANDRO DE ALEXANDRIS” Curated by Marco Meneguzzo
    MILAN GALLERIA 10 A.M. ART FROM 10 JUNE TO 30 SEPTEMBER 2021 “UNFOLDING OF HISTORY. AGOSTINO BONALUMI, SANDRO DE ALEXANDRIS” curated by Marco Meneguzzo From 10 June to 30 September the Galleria 10 A.M. ART in Milan is organising the show Unfolding of history. Agostino Bonalumi, Sandro De Alexandris. In the show an important selection of works from the 1960s and 1970s will open a new dialogue between the researches of the two artists. This is what the curator, Marco Meneguzzo, has written: The habit of looking at a certain kind of reading of history – all histories – is usually generated by a very convincing interpretation of what has happened, and also of the inevitable generalisations that the distance in time from the events produces in those very interpretations. The history of art, which is made of individuals as well as of languages, is not immune from these generalisations and habits: the cataloguing by movements and by successive phases really is convenient (from the viewpoint of scholastic or frivolous divulgation) and allows the placing of each work of an artist in the place that news and the universally known attribute to them, and thus to define them once and for all, in such a way as to make clear what we are speaking about and anyway the territory in which we move. Luckily, history is a dynamic affair that, even without resorting to impossible revisionism, in the urgency of defining certain important moments of its course – important for us, not for history in itself which is indifferent –, together with generalisations, searches the opposite pole in order to refine its own view, to make it more acute until it finds the various underground rivers of its own course which, on the one hand, shift from the principle current and, on the other, perhaps finds in another direction part of that current that was held to run calmly to the mouth.

  • Guggenheim Full Abstraction
    Press Release Brussels • October 2016 Guggenheim Full Abstraction ING Art Center Place Royale 6 – 1000 Brussels 19 October 2016 – 12 February 2017 Opening 19 October 2016, ING Art Center in Brussels will present an impressive set of works from the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice and the Solomon Guggenheim Collection in New York. Many of these are masterpieces representing the American and European Post- War Abstract Expressionist streams, dating from the 40’s to the 60’s. The exhibition will present a number of works realised by artists shown for the first time ever in Brussels. The exhibition will be a narrative that reconstructs relationships and ties across the Atlantic through the museums of two American collectors—Peggy Guggenheim and Solomon R. Guggenheim. Curated by Luca Massimo Barbero, associate curator of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice, the exhibition – a joint venture of the ING Art Center and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation in New York – offers visitors an exceptional opportunity to view parts of the collections of the museums of both Solomon and his niece Peggy together through the work of some of the greatest figures in 20th century art. Opening with masterpieces by such major artists as Duchamp and Max Ernst, the exhibition goes on to explore post-war developments on both sides of the Atlantic with the Informalism of European masters such as Alberto Burri, Emilio Vedova, Jean Dubuffet and Lucio Fontana, and with work by leading figures on the American art scene from the 1940s to the 1960s, through a large selection of masterpieces by Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko and Alexander Calder with the so-called ‘mobiles and stabiles’, alongside work by Willem de Kooning, Sam Francis, Robert Motherwell, Cy Twombly and others.

  • MANZONI: Azimut
    G A G O S I A N G A L L E R Y 10 November 2011 PRESS RELEASE GAGOSIAN GALLERY 17-19 DAVIES STREET T. 020.7493.3020 LONDON W1K 3DE F. 020.7493.3025 GALLERY HOURS: Mon - Sat 10:00am – 6:00pm MANZONI: Azimut Thursday, 17 November 2011–Friday, 6 January 2012 Opening reception: Wednesday, November 16th, from 6 to 8 pm Following the acclaimed exhibition "Manzoni: A Retrospective" in New York in 2009, Gagosian Gallery is pleased to present "Manzoni: Azimut" at the Davies Street gallery in London. Organized in cooperation with the Fondazione Piero Manzoni, the exhibition celebrates the work of Manzoni and fellow artists during the brief life of the Azimut gallery in Milan from 1959 to 1960. On December 4, 1959, Azimut opened in the sub-basement of a furniture store on a narrow street around the corner from La Scala in Milan with an exhibition of Manzoni´s most radical work to date: Linee (Lines ), drawings of a single line on a length of paper, signed, rolled up and sealed in a cardboard tube, which he then labeled. A youthful, experimental exhibition space that lasted just eight months, Azimut presented thirteen exhibitions and became a nerve center for an international set of provocative young artists. The founding of the gallery by Manzoni and Enrico Castellani, with the help of their mentor Lucio Fontana, followed their collaboration on Azimuth , a journal dedicated to the "development of the newest and youngest avant-garde painting." Featuring works by artists such as Robert Rauschenberg, Heinz Mack, Jean Tinguely, and Yves Klein, Azimuth ´s two issues stand as essential documents of a radical “new conception” of art at the end of the 1950s.

  • 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.

    CENTRO INTERUNIVERSITARIO DI STUDI VENETI * BIBLIOTECA VENETA CARTE DEL CONTEMPORANEO a cura di silvana tamiozzo goldmann 3 Con « Carte del Contemporaneo » si inaugura, per il Centro Interuniversitario di Studi Veneti, una nuova stagione. « Biblioteca veneta » si trasforma: non piú (non soltanto) collezione di edizioni e di ricerche letterarie e filologiche, ma sistema ar- ticolato dell’intera attività del CISVe. Sotto la sua ombra protettiva si vogliono svi- luppare, in forma di collane, progetti editoriali dedicati ad ambiti diversi ma tutti ancorati alla storia e alla cultura delle Venezie: oltre agli studi sulla testualità lette- raria Antico Regime e moderna (terreno abituale degli studiosi che finora hanno alimentato il palchetto della nostra collezione), la ricerca sulla letteratura contem- poranea, sui fondi librari (manoscritti e a stampa), sulle fonti d’archivio, sulla storia linguistica e socio-culturale. «Carte del Contemporaneo » è la prima di queste collane, dedicata alla ricerca sulla cultura del Novecento veneto, vista attraverso una lente particolare, i docu- menti d’archivio; essa nasce innanzitutto come estensione editoriale dell’Archivio omonimo, creato per impulso di Silvana Tamiozzo Goldmann e di Francesco Bru- ni, e ospitato nella sede del CISVe, dove oggi sono conservati, per la comunità degli studiosi, i fondi Ernesto Calzavara, Pier Maria Pasinetti, Armando Pizzinato, Carlo Della Corte. La collana intende essere il luogo in cui filologia materiale, critica genetica e ana- lisi letteraria possano agire perché le pratiche della catalogazione e della conserva- zione dei beni d’archivio siano anche il lievito vitale della ricezione critica di testi e autori; essa ospiterà quindi edizioni di inediti e di epistolari, studi filologici e critici, repertori catalografici, che abbiano come oggetto le carte inedite depositate nel- l’Archivio, e come fine la loro interpretazione e valorizzazione.

  • Mazzoleni at Art Basel Miami Beach 2018
    For Immediate release Mazzoleni at Art Basel Miami Beach 2018 Miami Beach Convention Center | Booth D1 1901 Convention Center Drive Miami Beach, FL 33139 Mazzoleni is pleased to return to Art Basel Miami Beach this December and will present works by Alighiero Boetti; Agostino Bonalumi; Alberto Burri; Enrico Castellani; Lucio Fontana; Jannis Kounellis; Piero Manzoni; Fausto Melotti; Michelangelo Pistoletto. The display will focus on the Arte Povera movement, which will be represented by three distinguished figures, Alighiero Boetti (1940- 1994), Jannis Kounellis (1936-2017) and Michelangelo Pistoletto (b.1933). Boetti, whose embroidered works and investigations on language convey puzzles of short phrases, inverted sayings or wordplay, was conceived by the artist in the 1970s. On this occasion, later embroidered works from the 90s will be presented, as well as Aerei, 1983, an early biro on paper work, depicting aeroplanes on a striking red background. For Kounellis, the physical reality of the materials in his work is important and he is known for using found objects such as iron, burlap, and even coal to powerful effect. He will be represented by a combination of silkscreen and ink works on paper from the 50s and 60s alongside more recent jute sack and iron works from 2001 onwards. To coincide with the current exhibition Origins and Consequences at Mazzoleni’s London gallery, several mirror paintings by renowned artist Michelangelo Pistoletto, will be displayed. What animates the mirror paintings is the duality of a fixed photo image placed on the surface of a reflective steel plate and the moving images produced by reflections of the viewer and their environment.
