Scope and Contents This catalogue is described on the back cover as follows: "Artists' books have emerged over the last twenty-five years as one of the most engaging contemporary art forms, addressing subjects from poetry to politics, incorporating a full spectrum of artistic media and bookmaking methods, and taking every conceivable form. Female painters, sculptors, calligraphers, and printmakers have played a primary role in developing this new mode of artistic expression. The Book as Art presents more than one hundred of the finest artists' books culled from the collection of the National Museum of Women in the Arts. These exquisitely crafted objects are certain to provoke unexpected and surprising conclusions about what constitutes a book." In her essay, "The Brightest Heaven of Invention" curator Krystyna Wasserman writes, "Among private collections, The Ruth and Marvin Sackner Achives of Concrete and Visual Poetry in Miami, Florida, has been a source of continual revelation and several...

Scope and Contents

The exhibition was curated by Ruggero Maggi. The essays and art works in this book all relate to the chaos and fractal theory in mathematics, art and poetry. As Angelo Bertani writes in his essay, On Apparent Order and Chaos, "What seems to be extremely significant is the artist's need (now extremely widespread) to go out from protected, appointed places and instead, contend directly with existence, with the richess of material, with the spaces of life: in this sense, the creeping crisis of painting, the growing prevalence of installations and video-works are a sign, beyond the current fashion of the will to contend with change, accident and the relative: the other names for chaos. Moreover, in a world where technology prevails, perhaps only the ways of art can inser ta fragment of liberty into the oppressive mechanism of necessity." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

La Scrittura (edited and written by Mirella Bentivoglio) / Di Sarro, Luigi ; Bentivoglio M ; Villa E ; Cattania L ; Novelli G ; Twombly C., 1991

 Item
Identifier: CC-16321-16671
Scope and Contents

Mirella Bentivoglio comments that the works of Di Sarro (1941-1979), who was a doctor, should be considered as precursors to art as writing, a tendency which developed in Rome in the sixties in the work of Emilio Villa, Marco Balzarro, and Luciano Cattania. She adds that this was followed by the well known Roman tendency of sign-abstraction, "impersonated" by Capagrossi, Novelli, and Twombly. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
