established last November and its main objective is precisely to give birth to the Boccioni Museum: here drawings and letters will be brought together in the first major collection dedicated to the

Alberto Dambruoso the Scientific Committee includes Virginia Baradel and Sara De Chiara The museum will be built in the rooms of Boccioni’s parents’ house in Morciano di Romagna where he himself lived in the very early years of his life The Foundation’s goal is also to create a Library that will bring together the printed or digital collection Tornabuoni Art Paris is delighted to present an exhibiton that focuses on the origins of the work of the Italian sculptor Arnaldo Pomodoro (b Organized in close collaboration with the Fondazione Arnaldo Pomodoro thanks to exclusive archival materials and new to the public artworks The exhibition documents Arnaldo Pomodoro’s early creative development from 1954 onward a decisive starting point of this period being his move to Milan the same year the sculptor begun weaving wefts made of embossed signs creating visual conditions that blurred the line between bi and tri-dimension ‘To me this was a period of great intellectual exchanges,’ says the artist ‘with the meeting of Lucio Fontana and the group of young Milanese that Enrico Baj and Sergio Dangelo had gathered together in their magazine “Il Gesto” It was the time of Manzoni and Castellani’s “Azimuth” group of Gastone Novelli and Achille Perilli and the “Esperienza Moderna” together with the great generation of architecture and design Tornabuoni Art is bringing together for the first time more than 30 of Pomodoro’s most iconic works of the period 1955- 65 in this show: the silver made up of a dense series of rhythmic markings resembling a sort of imaginary archaic writing This kind of work led Pomodoro to an understanding of the abstract sign as a formal unit and to the creation of the first Colonne del viaggiatore (Voyager’s Column) and fundamental works such as Luogo di mezzanotte (Midnight) Grande tavola della memoria (Large table of memory) and La Macchina del tempo (The Time Machine) Pomodoro’s work evolved from the bas-relief to more sculptural Pomodoro approached three-dimensional form initially by bending and modulating flat surfaces and then by working on the structure of Euclidean solids (cubes Disrupting their pure geometric forms and corrupting them from the inside out through corrosions and perforations the artist reveals a mysterious and complex interior Sfera n.1 – all included in this exhibition – are thus born The juxtaposition between the polished perfection of the geometric exterior and the chaotic complexity of its interior became from this point onwards the artist’s trademark are also included in this show:

the creation of each work transforming and adapting to the materials the most famous of the materials used in his works of art His iconic bronze spheres create an important contrast between the smooth surface and the complexity of the internal mechanism which captures the interest of the viewer and involves him in the exploration of his artistic research A rigorous geometric influence prevails over the latter manifesting itself in its most essential form The different geometric elements are repeated in sections becoming similar to the scanning of the notes he has taught at the art departments of several US universities which has forged and influenced his style and artistic research The Open studio visits in which it will be possible to participate highlight the artist’s relationship with the world of theater and his path within it as a central focus It will be possible to admire and explore the projects and some unpublished works scene photographs that will tell visitors about another area of ​​the artist’s activity As the artist himself says “Theater gives me a sense of creative freedom: it seems to me His relationship with the world of the theater began in his childhood when he was a siparist at the opera house in Rimini “The theatrical experience opened new horizons for me – writes Arnaldo Pomodoro – and stimulated me to experiment in the field of sculpture too because theater gives me a sense of creative freedom: it seems to me I have created large spectacular machines from which I then drew real sculptures In other cases I took inspiration from projects of unrealized sculptures “ Among his great scenographic and theatrical works we can remember his experience together with Luca Ronconi for Kleist’s Das Kätchen von Heilbronn which is entirely conceived on the water of Lake Zurich and places the spectators on rafts furniture that moves chasing those of the actors who act then not made due to an accident during rehearsals and moved indoors The Open studios will be held within Arnaldo Pomodoro’s studio where numerous activities are also held every month that analyze his sculptural techniques This initiative marks a new step in the global project

artists active in the 1970s and 1980s do not limit themselves to intervening only in the country of their birth feeling themselves to be "children of the world." but in 1956 he participated in the Venice Biennale projecting his works on the international scene; during his French stay the two brothers’ paths diverge: their artistic choices are now different and autonomous in 1958 is in Cologne and in 1959 goes to the United States to organize the exhibition "New York from Italy" at the John Bolles Gallery in San Francisco consisting of prominent artists such as Fontana leading him to win the International Prize for Sculpture at the São Paulo Biennale in Brazil and to obtain a solo room at the 1964 Venice Biennale represented a refuge from the chaos of big cities; a quiet place where the artist could meditate and work on his art alone Pomodoro taught at Berkeley University in the 1970s and in the 1980s at Oakland College in California He continued to participate in major international art exhibitions with monographs published in both the United States and Italy The 1984 exhibition Luoghi fondamentali collects nearly seventy works from Pomodoro’s artistic activity In 1988 he is again a guest at the Venice Biennale in addition to his presence at the World Expo in Brisbane and in the 1990s the Arnaldo Pomodoro Foundation is born legally recognized by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage the body responsible for the protection of Italian heritage Pomodoro founded a center for the Artistic Treatment of Metals an important school for learning the sculptural working of unconventional materials bringing together his activity from 1959 to 1997 was held in Palma de Mallorca: it was the artist’s first exhibition on Spanish soil in 2004 the sculpture Novecento was inaugurated in Rome In 2007 the first complete writing on the artist with the intervention of some important Italian critics known worldwide for his works and international exhibition activity graphics and poetry: the four areas of Pomodoro’s production Among the artist’s major influences are Paul Klee, Italian sculptors Umberto Boccioni but also all those artists he met during his travels that in making his Spheres he was inspired by Lucio Fontana’s Spatial Concepts of the 1960s Theater and sculpture are the two main poles toward which Pomodoro directs his research During his early years in Milan (1953-55) he made some theater sets winning many prizes and gaining important awards his scenographic activity was inconstant; he abandoned it for a while Pomodoro returned to the stage with the set design for Rossini’s Semiramide in the 1980s and shortly thereafter with sets and costumes for Gluck’sAlceste Another important commission is the script for Puccini’s Madama Butterfly To further explore this aspect of his research where all his scenic projects are illustrated The first sculptures are small in size: Pomodoro works on the deformation of geometric solids This is a clear allusion to the unveiling of human interiority a central goal in Arnaldo’s sculptural research which is why his works open up to show the inner parts One of his first spherical works is Sphere In 1966 he switched instead to large-scale sculptures the first example being a commission of more than three meters for the Montreal Expo Given the impressiveness of the structures these are made for open spaces: this is how the squares of Milan a research on which Moore and Fontana also work is a fixed point in Pomodoro’s art: he tears them apart columns and murals; Homage to Technological Civilization is a large mural made for the city of Cologne Pomodoro’s output also includes a series of environmental works One of the works of the artist’s maturity is the Sfera di San Leo of the 2000s where the language used is also advanced: the sculpture is no longer torn only internally as if his sculptures needed to bring out that lacerating sense of living An activity he devoted himself to beginning in 1978 sculpting is undoubtedly the artist’s favorite activity; he states that “Unlike painting but another space that enters into relationship with that of the context; architectural or natural The placement of a sculpture is successful when the work manages to represent the vitality and strength of the context” (from the website of the Arnaldo Pomodoro Foundation) Pomodoro’s works in Italy (not only) The Arnaldo Pomodoro Foundation, in Milan, is responsible for the protection of a widespread collection, given the size of its works. An exhibition, therefore, not confined to the walls of a closed structure.
