Description

The rediscovery of a still underappreciated artist who, along with Auguste Rodin, revolutionised sculpture in the 19th century.

Artist and artisan, art theorist and proto-installation artist, master of high publicity performances and rival of Auguste Rodin - Medardo Ross was one of the great pioneers of Modernism. The catalogue presents a comprehensive retrospective of the artist with more than fifty sculptures and a large selection of photographs, photocollages, and drawings. It follows the relational thinking of Medardo Rosso, who frequently exhibited his output with comparable works, and contextualizes his oeuvre with selected works by about fifty artists - among them Francis Bacon, Nairy Baghramian, Phyllida Barlow, Louise Bourgeois, Constantin Brancusi, Edgar Degas, Alberto Giacometti, David Hammons, Eva Hesse, Robert Morris, and Andy Warhol - who resonate directly or indirectly with Rosso.
