Entrusted to curator Germano Celant, the largest exhibition in Europe on American artist Richard Artschwager (1923-2013) will be presented first in Italy, then in Spain.
Turning to the understanding of space, everyday objects and perception, the poetics of Artschwager has established itself as a unicum in the art of the 20th century. His works deal with the representation of utilitarian instruments reproduced with industrial mate-rials such as formica, celotex, acrylic painting, aluminum.
To these fundamental aspects is added the attention to pure geometric form and pic-torial illusionism, resulting in paintings and sculptures that suspend the categories of the image and objects in a limbo between the space they physically occupy, the usefulness they refer to and their artistic representation.
