An article, in Art of june, traces the artistic career of Lucio Del Pezzo, a well-known exponent of Italian Pop Art. On closer inspection, the combination with Pop Art is very forced and arises only from the desire to classify the genre of belonging of the artist anyway. Del Pezzo's artistic language is closer to Metaphysics than to Pop Art. In fact, it is peculiar to Pop Art the celebration of iconic objects of consumption, but in the case of Lucio Del Pezzo the objects he inserts into the works are not objects of common use, but are refere...

We visited our artist and friend Mario Raciti to make new purchases of works that we will soon publish on our website. The works of Raciti that we bought are from the series "The flowers of the deep" where, from a white background with spots of color not well defined but tending to reddish, brown, yellow, emerge very thin stems with at the upper end a stain of color to symbolize a flower. In accordance with his dreamlike painting, not easily interpretable, Raciti does not unveil the flower, which everyone can imagine as he wants, but rather ...

The month of May of the magazine Arte Mondadori takes its cue from the pandemic caused by the coronavirus to ask for reflections on the merits of some artists including Emilio Isgrò. In fact, Isgrò takes the cue to make a quick and ducted rundown on 20th-century art by talking not only about "visual" artists but also about those who write or recite, such as Bertolt Brecht and Carmelo Bene. He speaks of those artists who have given an important breakthrough to art capable of bringing everyday objects such as Duchamp's "urinal" or the "bicycle...

The well-known curator and art critic Germano Celant died yesterday at the San Raffaele Hospital in Milan. In 1967 he noticed a group of young Italian artists exhibiting at the La Bertesca gallery in Genoa. He understood the communicative power of their language and wrote the manifesto headlined it: Poor Art. Notes for a guerrilla. The Arte Povera was born, an artistic current that soon gained worldwide notoriety. For Celant he was the national and international springboard for his work as a critic and curator of important exhibitions. These...

On "La lettura", a cultural insert of Corriere della Sera, on Sunday Emilio Isgrò makes a reflection on Germany in these moments of Coronavirus. He drew on his literary and human knowledge to talk about the great German tradition of all the arts, from visual to musical arts and how, after two disastrous wars, provoked and lost, Germany rose up by the culture and thanks to long-thinking politicians. Emilio Isgrò reminds us that German as a language of study was imposed on him by choice of the boss of the middle school he attended, that the in...

Yesterday 12 April 2020 Lucio del Pezzo is died. This closes the earthly adventure of one of the most significant artists of the post-war period of Italy and beyond. Author of his very personal research, lover of architecture and archaeology whose influence we find in his works, the salient features of del Pezzo are the use of the wood as a support, the frequent use of gold funds and small wooden sculptures, significant objects of his cultural passions and his professional experiences. These objects del Pezzo distributes them variously on hi...
