on 8 January 2023 the exhibition of Emilio Isgrò held in Brescia in the Archaeological Park and in the museum of Santa Giulia will close. This exhibition aims to celebrate the nomination of Brescia and Bergamo as Italian Capitals  of Culture 2023. In reality, more than an exhibition, these are five events that unfold in five distinct places. The actual exhibition takes place in the Museum of Santa Giulia, the installation called "The harmonium of crazy larks" is placed in the Renaissance cloister adjacent to the museum, the "Bees of Virgil" ...

The second edition of Arte in Nuvola, which was held in Rome at the La Nuvola conference center by Massimiliano Fuksas, ended happily. Also this edition was characterized by the considerable influx of public and the good interest of collectors for the works on display. In particular, in our stand the artists who aroused the most interest were Christo, Salvo, Rotella, Griffa and Merz. Good organization even if some functions need to be perfected such as loading and unloading of the works. The growth prospects of the event are definitely good....

The first block of art fairs, Parma and Verona, is over. We found that there was not a large turnout at both fairs. This was probably due to several concomitant factors: energy crisis, explosion in the cost of gas and electricity, companies in crisis,  too mild weather that encouraged a jump to the sea rather than locking oneself in a shed. However, we  have had a good sales success with a strong interest in Isgrò, Zorio, Boetti, Christo, Raciti, Costalonga and Nicolotti mainly.

Here is an interesting reflection by Alighiero Boetti on the conception of the titles of his tapestries. As far as conceptual and informal art is concerned, this is a general discourse as the title often depends on environmental and personal conditions. That is, the weather and the state of mind in relation to a news or an event, a pleasant or unpleasant encounter, etc. Boetti gives as an example the phrase "Sciogliersi come neve al sole" . He claims that surely there was a woman involved. That is, you melt for the warmth of love, for an ero...

We have just published three works, a lithograph by Christo, which concerns a study for packing an Ericson phone, and two Del Pezzo. These last two works are of considerable interest as they are a study of 1968, which we can define as a forerunner work of the "casellari", and a sculpture of 1974 that anticipates the future "shelves". These two works are in varnished wood.

In this last period we have published four works, one by Christo, two by Lodola and one by Isgrò. Christo's is a lithograph of a view of New York with a skyscraper wrapped in the foreground. This lithograph is enriched by hand-held interventions by Christo. Lodola's  two works are acrylics on canvas that take up the themes dear to Lodola, young people and the Vespa. Finally, the work of Isgrò belongs to the series of Pater Noster which are remarkable works for their size and their meaning.

On the occasion of the recent visit to the Basel Fair , two things are evident: the market and public success of the works by Alighiero Boetti and Emilio Isgrò. Boetti was exhibited in various galleries both Italian and foreign with prices that seem unstoppable and ranging from 90,000 euros for a tapestry of 22x22 cm up to 7,000,000 (seven million) euros for a tapestry of 200x200 cm. Isgrò was present in a single gallery that in addition to the individual works presented an installation consisting of 40 small erasd books. This installation w...

As part of the Taobuk, Taormina Book Festival, Emilio Isgrò, as guest of honor, presents the work "Le farfalle dei Malavoglia"  which is a erasure of the famous novel by Giovanni Verga whose centenary of death is celebrated. The occasion is greedy for an erudite escursus of Isgrò of the Greek tragedy, Aeschylus and Sophocles in evidence, ending with the dramas of Luigi Pirandello. Aeschylus, Verga, Pirandello, an all-Sicilian thread that binds these writers who represent the dramas of their eras but who are actualized in a repetition of hist...

In the Corriere della Sera of Monday 7 June, about the presentation of the new edition of the "Milanesiana", Elisabetta Sgarbi is depicted with a work by Vanni Cuoghi, an artist she highly esteemed. Unfortunately the caption of the image mistakenly refers to Roberto Cuoghi who has a very different theme from that of Vanni Cuoghi. We would like to underline this mistake both because  Vanni Cuoghi is one of our artists and for the sake of truth.

Visit to Kazumasa Mizokami for the retreat of one of his works from the series "The Blue Men". Kazumasa creates this type of work in a sitting position with a sphere in his hand. The sphere is made by terracotta while the figure can be by terracotta or bronze. The figure is rigorously painted blue while the sphere is white.  The appearances of the figure are barely hinted at that it represents a man without time and without history so that everyone can interpret a "his man" and a "his story". The sphere represents the world, otherwise humani...
