    1 Histories of PostWar Architecture 2 | 2018 | 1 1968: It’s Just a Beginning Ester Coen Università degli Studi dell’Aquila [email protected] An expert on Futurism, Metaphysical art and Italian and International avant-gardes in the first half of the twentieth century, her research also extends to the sixties and seventies and the contemporary scene, with numerous essays and other publications. In collaboration with Giuliano Briganti she curated the exhibition Pittura Metafisica (Palazzo Grassi, Venice 1979) and edited the catalogue, while with Maurizio Calvesi she edited the Catalogue Raisonné of Umberto Boccioni’s works (1983). She curated with Bill Lieberman the Boccioni retrospective at the Metropolitan Museum of New York in 1988 and has since been involved in many international exhibitions. She organised Richard Serra’s show at the Trajan’s Markets (Rome 1999), planned the Gary Hill show at the Coliseum (Rome 2005) and was one of the three committee members of the Futurism centenary exhibition (Pompidou Paris, Scuderie del Quirinale Rome and Tate Modern London) celebrating in the same year (2009) with Futurism 100: Illuminations. Avant-gardes Compared. Italy-Germany-Russia the anniversary at MART in Rovereto. In 2015 she focused on Matisse’s fascination for decorative arts (Arabesque, Scuderie del Quirinale Rome) and at the end of 2017 a show organized at La Galleria Nazionale in Rome anticipated the fifty years of the 1968 “revolution”. Full professor of Modern and Contemporary Art History at the University of Aquila, she lives in Rome. ABSTRACT 1968 marks the beginning of a social, political and cultural revolution, with all of its internal contradictions.

Italian art continues to capture the interest and enthusiasm of private collectors and institutions worldwide and is currently an area of market growth. This autumn’s selection of Italian art will include major paintings and sculptures from Italy’s foremost modern and contemporary artists with examples spanning the key artistic movements of important Italian 20th century art. “20th Century Italian art is increasingly sought after on the international market and yet is still enticingly undervalued.

  • Introduction*
    Introduction* CLAIRE GILMAN If Francesco Vezzoli’s recent star-studded Pirandello extravaganza at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and the Senso Unico exhibition that ran con- currently at P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center are any indication, contemporary Italian art has finally arrived.1 It is ironic if not entirely surprising, however, that this moment occurs at a time when the most prominent trend in Italian art reflects no discernible concern for things Italian. Rather, the media-obsessed antics of Vezzoli or Vanessa Beecroft (featured alongside Vezzoli in Senso Unico) are better understood as exemplifying the precise eradication of national and cultural boundaries that is characteristic of today’s global media culture. Perhaps it is all the more fitting, then, that this issue of October returns to a rather different moment in Italian art history, one in which the key practition- ers acknowledged the invasion of consumer society while nonetheless striving to keep their distance; and in which artists responded to specific national condi- tions rooted in real historical imperatives. The purpose of this issue is twofold: first, to give focused scholarly attention to an area of post–World War II art history that has gained increasing curatorial exposure but still receives inadequate academic consideration. Second, in doing so, it aims to dismantle some of the misconceptions about the period, which is tra- ditionally divided into two distinct moments: the assault on painting of the 1950s and early ’60s by the triumverate Alberto Burri, Lucio Fontana, and Piero Manzoni, followed by Arte Povera’s retreat into natural materials and processes.

  • Arte Povera Tate Modern, London, UK
    MARIAN GOODMAN GALLERY Arte Povera Tate Modern, London, UK By Alex Farquharson (September 10, 2001) Unbelievably, 'Zero to Infinity' is the first survey of Arte Povera to be held in Britain. We've had solo, senior-status shows by many of its prime exponents - Luciano Fabro, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Jannis Kounellis, Giuseppe Penone, Alighiero Boetti - in recent memory, but no overview. The movement officially began in 1967, when the young critic-turneD-curator Germano Celant coined the Arte Povera moniker, and ended in 1970, when he took the unilateral decision to bury it and work with its individual participants. Usually it's the artists that reject the way their inDividualism has been subsumed by movements defined by critics or curators, but in Arte Povera's case it was the artists (most of them, at least) who wanted to keep the show on the road into the 1970s. This says a lot for the strange coherence of this most enigmatic of art movements, anD the relative isolation Italian artists experienced prior to their integration within international post- Minimalist tenDencies at the close of the DecaDe. The show's curators, RicharD FlooD from the Walker Art Center anD the Tate's Frances Morris, made the innovative decision to extend the time frame to include Arte Povera's immediate aftermath and its pre-history, when some of its slightly older practitioners (Pistoletto, Pino Pascali and Kounellis, for example) were beginning to be known individually. Academically, this move revealed the extent to which Arte Povera did or didn't come out of nowhere, and how, after its dissolution, the artists set out on the divergent, inDividually traDemarkeD careers we know toDay.

Developed to counter current feelings of isolation and dislocation through fostering a sense of community around Italian art and creativity, Magazzino da Casa expands the museum’s public programming into the digital sphere, with live-streamed Q&As with artists including Marinella Senatore, the presentation of unreleased films relating to recent museum projects, the digitization of past exhibition catalogues, Instagram Live lectures by leading scholars from around the world, music playlists contributed by community members on Spotify, and more.

Initiated to support and inspire artistic production, Homemade will feature regular project updates from each of the artists, shared via Magazzino’s Instagram, and ultimately the final works during the first week of June.

    Don't Miss Magazzino's Re-Opening! Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) Don't Miss Magazzino's Re-Opening! I. i. (March 02, 2018) Magazzino's latest exhibition "Arte Povera: From the Olnick Spanu Collection" presents a comprehensive overview on the artistic practice of 12 artists associated with the Italian Arte Povera movement such as Giovanni Anselmo, Alighiero Boetti, Pierpaolo Calzolari, Luciano Fabro, Jannis Kounellis, Mario Merz, Marisa Merz, Giulio Paolini, Pino Pascali, Giuseppe Penone, Michelangelo Pistoletto and Gilberto Zorio. This exhibition represents the Olnick Spanu Collection's [2]core of Post-war Italian art, allowing the space to be an environment solely devoted to this generation of Italian artists. Their work came at a defining moment in the 1960s, as Italy was transitioning into an era of Page 1 of 2 Don't Miss Magazzino's Re-Opening! Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) burgeoning industrialization, student rebellion, and a decline of the “economic miracle” of the 1950s allowed by the Marshall Plan [3]. The artists aimed to eradicate the boundaries between media as well as between nature and art, their mantra was “Art is Life.” The term Arte Povera, coined by art critic Germano Celant [4]in 1967 to mean "impoverished art," grew out of the radical stance artists were taking in response to their dissatisfaction with the values established by political, industrial and cultural institutions in Italy. Following the movement’s inception by Celant, 1968 was a year of seismic social and political change across the globe which percolated into the time's art scene.

The sale will comprise major paintings and sculptures from the foremost modern and contemporary masters while also bringing the best examples from artists better known in Italy to the international market, providing a comprehensive overview of the diversity and vitality of Italian art through the modern, post-war and contemporary eras. “Christie’s Italian Sale has, since its inception, been a highly-fuelled forum for Italian art on an international scale,” says Olivier Camu, the specialist in charge of the sale. “Year after year, we have developed ever closer links to museums, to private collectors in America, Asia and Europe and to some of the artists themselves, giving us a privileged position from which to propel Italian art onto the international stage.” The sale will be led by highly recognisable examples by modern Italian masters. Amongst the works in several media by Marino Marini is Piccolo miracolo of 1951 (estimate: £350,000-500,000), a bronze conceived in 1951 showing his perennial theme of the horse and rider, a powerful, universal metaphor for so many issues in the modern world, both on a personal and a world scale.

  • Living Art and the Art of Living
    LIVING ART AND THE ART OF LIVING: REMAKING HOME IN ITALY IN THE 1960s Teresa Kittler PhD Thesis History of Art University College London 2014 1 DECLARATION I, Teresa Kittler, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 ABSTRACT This thesis focuses on the social, material, and aesthetic engagement with the image of home by artists in Italy in the 1960s to offer new perspectives on this period that have not been accounted for in the literature. It considers the way in which the shift toward environment, installation and process-based practices mapped onto the domestic at a time when Italy had become synonymous with the design of environments. Over four chapters I explore the idea of living-space as the mise-en-scène, and conceptual framework, for a range of artists working across Italy in ways that both anticipate and shift attention away from accounts that foreground the radical architectural experiments enshrined in MoMA’s landmark exhibition Italy: the New Domestic Landscape (1972). I begin by examining the way in which the group of temporary homes made by Carla Accardi between 1965 and 1972 combines the familiar utopian rhetoric of alternative living with attempts to redefine artistic practice at this moment. I then go on to look in turn at the sculptural practice of artists Marisa Merz and Piero Gilardi in relation to the everyday lived experience of home. This question is first considered in relation to the material and psychic challenges Merz poses to the gendering of homemaking with Untitled (Living Sculpture) 1966.
