The response to the virus

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 wheel" that from the Tour de France ends up to the Centre Pompidou. Accustomed to living in another world, the virus brings us back with our feet on the ground, reminds us that death is immanent for all even for artists. In a world where finance and collecting cross  the virus is a good opportunity to separate collecting from finance. In a world where artists little more than young people demand exaggerated amuont, the virus, and the resulting economic crisis, will force them to more mild advice, which will not prevent the disappearance of some.
