    Nella primavera 2024, Palazzo Strozzi ospita una grande mostra dedicata a uno dei maggiori esponenti dell'arte tra XX e XXI secolo: Anselm Kiefer, celebre per le sue opere di forte impatto che attraverso pittura, scultura e installazione investigano i temi della memoria, del mito, della guerra e dell'esistenza. Ogni produzione artistica di Kiefer esprime il rifiuto del limite, nella monumentalità e nella potenza della materialità, ma soprattutto nell'infinita ricchezza di risorse con le quali sonda le profondità della memoria e del passato. Ha esordito sulla scena artistica tedesca alla fine degli anni sessanta, con opere che hanno segnato tra le prime una riflessione sulla storia della Seconda guerra mondiale e sull'eredità emotiva e culturale della Germania. Da qui è iniziato un percorso artistico in cui si uniscono e confondono tra loro storia, mito, religione, misticismo, poesia, filosofia. A cura di Arturo Galansino, la mostra di Palazzo Strozzi mira a restituire la vitale complessità dell'arte di Kiefer, celebrandone l'intreccio tra figura e astrazione, natura e artificialità, creazione e distruzione, con un forte coinvolgimento per il pubblico nello spazio fisico e concettuale delle sue opere.

    The first study of de Kooning's works on paper and clay sculpture from his formative sojourns in ItalyThe Dutch-American giant of abstraction Willem de Kooning (1904-97) enjoyed two long sojourns in Italy: in the fall of 1959 and in the summer of 1969. These trips profoundly impacted his work--the first generated a significant body of black-and-white works on paper, while the second inspired the artist to experiment with clay--yet they have yet to receive their due scholarly attention. Willem de Kooning and Italy is the first monograph to explore these two chapters in de Kooning's life and career, as reflected in the development of his work from the end of the '50s to his last works of the '80s.In addition to essays by the two curators and editors, this lavishly illustrated volume includes contributions from the art historians Jeremy Bleeke, Ester Coen, Anna Coliva and Patrick Elliott. A bibliography and a list of exhibitions further enrich the monograph.

    The rediscovery of a Baroque masterpiece by the venerable Italian painterIn 2021, a painting was offered at a Madrid auction houses at a starting price of 1,500 euros. Almost immediately and almost unanimously, this Ecce Homo was attributed by experts to Caravaggio (1571-1610), an unprecedented event in the critical history of the painter.This publication comprises essays by four of the most authoritative specialists on Caravaggio and Baroque painting, who together offer an essential starting point for the understanding of this new and fundamental addition to our knowledge of Caravaggio's work.Maria Cristina Terzaghi, Gianni Papi, Giuseppe Porzio and Keith Christiansen tackle the interpretation of the painting, taking different approaches. One essay dwells on the circumstances of the discovery, another traces its Spanish provenance, while the stylistic, technical and iconographic aspects of the work are examined in depth, along with the artist's critical fortune and the legacy he left behind in Naples.The four texts offer the reader a variety of interpretations that constitute the true value of this publication. While others have expressed skepticism over the attribution, all the contributing scholars share the same enthusiastic certainty: the Ecce Homo is a masterpiece by Caravaggio and, as such, still has a lot to tell us about the artist.

    Representative sculptural works that probe the limits and potential of our relationship with the worldThis monograph features 30 fundamental works by acclaimed Indian artist Anish Kapoor (born 1954) from the 1980s to the present day, spanning practically the entirety of his long and distinguished career.One of the most notable features of Kapoor's works is the way they transcend their materiality. Pigment, stone, steel, wax and silicone are manipulated--carved, polished, saturated and molded--to the point of a dissolution of boundaries between the plastic and the immaterial. Color in Kapoor's hands becomes an immersive phenomenon, containing its own spatial and illusive volume. Kapoor seeks estrangement, the erasure of ordinary references, in order to undermine the way that we are accustomed to see things and set them in a completely different perspective, creating works that act as catalysts of energy. This volume reveals the genesis of his artistic practice and investigates its language, providing new keys to its interpretation.

    The story of the famous English critic's long and fruitful love affair with the city of VeniceJohn Ruskin visited Venice numerous times over the course of his life, starting in 1835, and after long stays in the city he published his three-volume masterpiece The Stones of Venice--a gorgeous paean to the beauty, uniqueness and fragility of this city that was destined to become a cornerstone of English culture and mark the beginning of the Gothic Revival. Venice, in Ruskin's drawings and watercolors, is a theater of "lost time" that builds up traces of historical time even as it is subject to erasure and destruction.In Venice with Ruskin is a meditation on the city, its architecture, its bittersweet relationship with nature, Ruskin's dialogue with the great Venetian artists whose works he reproduced, the curiosity that prompted him to explore it and the imagination with which he captured its essence on paper.

    From paper-wrapped parcels to crystalline living matter: a major new monograph on the biomorphic sculptures of Chun Kwang YoungKorean artist Chun Kwang Young (born 1944) is best known for his textured paper sculptures. Taking mulberry paper (the making of which is an ancient Korean craft) as his primary medium, Young creates large creaturely entities steeped in cultural and historical symbolism. He also uses tea and other natural dyes to color the paper. His works resemble living beings: gigantic mushrooms, deformed insects or viruses. In evoking these life forms, the artist stages a performance that is both ritualistic and aesthetic--one that reflects on the interconnection between living beings, biodiversity and the life cycle.Accompanying the exhibition at Palazzo Polignac at the 59th Venice Biennale, Times Reimagined features more than 150 color images from his oeuvre. Editor Yongwoo Lee contributes text throughout, interspersed with essays by scholars, curators, artists and philosophers.
