The initiative for the creation of the original exhibition, which then involved an Award of $10,000 for the winning work of art, was taken by Harry F. Guggenheim, at the time President of The Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation. Mr. Guggenheim thereby reflected a commitment to international- ism, a cornerstone of Foundation policy even before that time and certainly ever since. The aim of the Guggenheim International Award was to "stimulate public interest in contemporary art and in this way to encourage the work of all artists throughout the world." While the stated objective was simple and straightforward enough, the ma- chinery set up for the determination of the prize winner could not have been more cumbersome, since it was based on a then-prevailing faith in democratic procedures in the service of qualitative judgements. But, despite increasing frus- tration with so unmanageable an apparatus, the subsequent awards of 1958 and 1960 were also implemented by a worldwide network of national and continen- tal juries that channeled its findings through a hierarchic system to an Interna- tional Award Jury designed to produce the "Prix Guggenheim." But by 1964, when the series began again after a four-year pause, the original jury structure was relegated to rendering a merely advisory function, as respon- sibility for the event was transferred to me, as the Museum's Director, and to my curatorial staff. The selection process was subsequently delegated to the Mu- seum's Curator, then Lawrence Alloway, while a three-man jury made up of Ar- nold Riidlinger, Werner Haftmann and Hans Hofmann was given the task of choosing the grant-winning works. Another three years later, in 1967, the Guggenheim International became a show that retained its links with the original Award by adopting the title Guggenheim International Exhibition. It was selected by myself and Fdward F. Fry who, at the time, was the Museum's Assistant Curator. Subtitled Sculpture from Twenty Nations, it was the first Guggenheim International devoted to the three-dimensional medium and in this sense may be considered a forerunner of the current show. Monetary awards were no longer made, but four purchase prizes came to enrich the Museum's collections. The sixth Guggenheim International, which took place in 1971, also was a collaborative venture, this time undertaken

It came to itself and is for this moment without him or her, not brought about by him or her but is itself and in this sudden seeing of itself, we make the final choice.

If we were to leave it alone at this point of itself, our eyes aging would no longer be able to see it.

As part of the first wave of museums to celebrate moving image work, CMOA played a central role in legitimizing film as an art form, leading a movement that would eventually result in the integration of moving image artworks in museum collections worldwide. The department's active roster of programmingÐfeaturing historical screenings, director's retrospectives, and monthly appearances by experimental filmmakers from around the worldÐwas a leading factor in Pittsburgh's emergence in the 1970s as ªone of the most vibrant and exciting places in America for exploring cinema.º (Robert A. Haller, Crossroads: Avant-garde Film in Pittsburgh in the 1970s, 2005). The museum also served as a galvanizing force in the burgeoning field by increasing visibility and promoting the professionalization of moving image art through its publication of Film and Video Makers Travel Sheet (a monthly newsletter distributed to 2,000 subscribers worldwide) and the Film and Video Makers Directory (a listing of those involved in film and video production and exhibition) and by paying substantial honoraria to visiting filmmakers.

  • 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.

  • February 16, 2008 Luhring Augustine Is Pleased to Present Red Sky, A
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Red Sky January 12 – February 16, 2008 Luhring Augustine is pleased to present Red Sky, a group exhibition featuring painting, sculpture and installation by eight key artists associated with the Arte Povera movement. The exhibition includes work by Alighiero e Boetti, Pier Paolo Calzolari, Luciano Fabro, Jannis Kounellis, Mario Merz, Giulio Paolini, Michelangelo Pistoletto and Gilberto Zorio. The term arte povera translates to poor art, but the movement as a whole encompassed far more than the use of humble materials. During the sixties and seventies, several young artists based in Italy strove to create work in a spirit of experimentation and openness. The loosely defined movement was coined Arte Povera by the prominent art critic and curator Germano Celant in 1967. In response to art historical tradition and the slick commercialism of the day, these artists turned instead to organic and industrial materials and employed unconventional methods of art- making. Recurrent themes include metamorphosis, alchemy, entropy and relational aesthetics resulting in works which emphasize the metaphysical, the symbolic and the poetic. Alighiero e Boetti’s work is often defined by systematic mark-making reflecting his interest in order and logic. For example, uno2due3tre4quattroecc is rendered on graph paper and the multiplication of black squares appears to follow a precise mathematical formula. The works of Gilberto Zorio include his trademark motifs of star and javelin, both of which are archetypal symbols suggestive of purity, energy and movement. Pier Paolo Calzolari’s Untitled installation involves a metallic grid frozen over time and is characteristic of Calzolari’s use of machinery, neon and freezing elements to explore the notion of transformation.

  • Don't Miss Magazzino's Re-Opening! Published on Iitaly.Org (
    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.

Dal 1984, anno di nascita del Museo, per volontà in primis della Regione Piemonte, le collezioni sono cresciute in dialogo organico con l’attività espositiva e si sono costantemente arricchite grazie ad acquisizioni, donazioni e comodati. Dopo le mostre di esordio Ouverture, che hanno tracciato una prima ipotesi di Collezione, le prime acquisizioni sono state formalizzate nel 1986, con opere quali Yurupari – Stanza di Rheinsberg (1984) di Lothar Baumgarten, Casa di Lucrezio (1981) di Giulio Paolini, Persone Nere (1984) di Michelangelo Pistoletto. Tra i capolavori della Collezione figurano Ambiente Spaziale (1967) di Lucio Fontana, Novecento (1997), l’opera iconica di Maurizio Cattelan e la Venere degli Stracci (1967) di Pistoletto, che sono diventate fondamentali nella costruzione dell’identità del Museo. Negli anni successivi, il costante impegno degli Amici del Castello di Rivoli, gruppo composto da collezionisti e mecenati italiani e internazionali, ha contribuito ad accrescere le opere di proprietà del Castello. Dal 2000, la storia delle Collezioni è inoltre scandita dal ruolo svolto dalla Fondazione CRT per l’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea. Il costante impegno della Fondazione contribuisce alla crescita delle Collezioni del Castello di Rivoli attraverso l’acquisizione di opere date in comodato, su proposta del direttore del Museo e avvalendosi di un comitato scientifico.
