Beauty out of the box - In conversation with Louise Durocher

Architect, her works can be found in Canada, USA and Japan. Sculptress, she lives between Seattle and Pietrasanta where she spends 5 months a year to realize monumental artworks

We met Louise Durocher in Pietrasanta at Giorgio Angeli’s studio. She greeted us with flowing red hair and piercing green eyes in front of her latest creation: Conversation.

What do you tell us through this sculpture, Louise?

Armando in space - Venice: Marrocco at the Galleria Luce

On view, artworks from the 60s and 70s bring in dialogue the investigations of a programmed and kinetic matrix with works of ecological inspiration

Armando Marrocco’s new solo exhibition at the Galleria Luce pays homage to the Venetian spatialism: “Armando Marrocco. Convergenze spaziali. Venezia, Milano e oltre” (“Armando Marrocco. Convergences in space. Venice, Milan and beyond”). The idea of the curators Michela Luce and Toti Carpentieri is to highlight correspondences and analogies so far little explored.

White flag? We don't think about it - Hurricane Siae brings the entire art system to its knees

AW ArtMag won the case. But the damage to the entire industry has already been massive. A Caporetto in terms of cultural dissemination, freedom of information and advertising revenue

Forgive them because they do not know what they are doing. The claims of the Italian Society authors and publishers of the payment of reproduction rights for images of works of their members in support of journalistic services have come down with the destructive force of a hurricane on the entire sector of the artistic system.

Aim: The Grande Peinture - Sète, Raysse on display at the Paul Valéry museum

A hundred artworks on view from the early 2000s to the last monumental paintings of the Pinault Collection

Martial Raysse is known for his role in the European pop art of the 60s; he is the dandy who represents France at the 33rd La Biennale di Venezia where he wins the David Bright Award. With revolutionary grit, he reinterprets the classics of art history, plays with acid colors to capture consumerism and show the frivolity of an era.

Ecce Homo - Milan: Fernando Botero’s first posthumous exhibition at the Permanente Museum

On show, 60 works which illustrate the Via Crucis coming from the Antioquia Museum in Medellín

Artists have often tied their fame to a label that characterizes their gesture that does not always highlight their qualities with due completeness. The case of Fernando Botero is emblematic. Botero is universally known as the artist of “large forms” and of a contemplative pleasantness capable of leading into an Edenic world. But this style is not completely representative of Botero.

A life thinking about the future - Meeting with Giuseppe Appella, philosopher, critic, head of galleries and museums

In June 1978, the bond with Franco Palumbo and the friends of La Scaletta as well as with Pietro Consagra (given by the seven sculptures/labyrinth of “Trama” in the Biennale di Venezia in 1972) led me to the City of stones (Matera) for the exhibition curated by Giuseppe Appella. I had met him during my Roman years around galleries and on “La Fiera Letteraria” and I still remember him in the house of Corso Vittorio Emanuele II overflowing with books, volumes, catalogs and documents.

NFT techno-drama - Chronicle of a death announced and never happened

If a few months ago the dominant topic on the web and on social media concerned Botticelli and advertising, today the media seem to have identified a completely different target for the periodic invasion of our virtual bulletin feeds: NFT seem to have no more value. This news is so tragic for those who own them as exciting for all those who had sided against this new art form and now stand proud with their “I had said so”.

The Art of Paradox - Rome: Escher great exhibition at Palazzo Bonaparte

An extensive exhibition of 300 artworks retraces the creative process of the master

Maurits Cornelis Escher and Giulietta Umiker were married on June 12th, 1924, in Viareggio. I have always been struck by the choice of the Dutch engraver and lithographer to summon the family to an Italian town - now also the headquarters of the AW ArtMag editorial staff - for the celebrations of the event.
