Alighiero e Boetti , 2011

Identifier: CC-54247-643135

Scope and Contents Amazon.com: "Alighiero e Boetti (1940-1994) has emerged as one of the most significant figures of postwar European art whose practice is having an unfolding impact on younger artists. His powerful influence can be attributed to the material diversity of his work, its conceptual ingenuity, and his political sensibility. His work, though usually associated with the Italian Arte Povera group and Conceptual Art, has never quite fit into these contexts. Boetti ceased making Arte Povera--type objects in 1969 after a few years of association with the group, and his later choice of materials (embroidery, calligraphy, mosaic, kilims) put a gulf between his work and that of most artists of the 1970s and 1980s."The author, Mark Godfrey, is a curator at Tate Modern in London and a former lecturer at the Slade School of Art, University College London.Boetti had an idiosyncratic style of working, and he often collaborated with or commissioned others to execute his ideas, including his celebrated...

Item

Identifier: CC-12445-12672

This is a preparatory drawing done by Keith Bailey under the supervision of Ian Hamilton Finlay for a slate sculpture. It depicts a fighter plane of World War II vintage with a trail of smoke during combat. Angels, Bandits and Saints refers to nicknames of fighter aircraft during that period. Contrails is the condensation trail emitted by jet aircraft exhaust. Contrails form when hot humid air from jet exhaust mixes with environmental air of low vapor pressure and low temperature.

Ross asks Cobbing about his sound scores [abstract markings] and how he reads these marks. He cites Norman McLaren who drew a sound track on film. McLaren stated that "a thin line will give you a high sound, a thicker line will give you a lower sound. If you make a little tiny point it'll give you a high 'ping,' if you make it a rounder blob, a biggr blob, it'll give you a 'boom'..." Cobbing indicates than when he makes marks on paper, he writes in sound. Cobbing tells about a painting he made that was exhibited in a library entitled "Integration alone is not enough" (1962/1963) in which Margaret Thatcher, then a local representative saw...
