Tornabuoni art returns to the origins of sculptor Arnaldo
Pomodoro's work (1926, Morciano di Romagna), specifically to the
years 1956-1965, a pivotal period of the artist's production. His
creations, initially derived from the goldsmithing produced side by
side with the brothers Gio and Giorgio Perfetti, evolves towards
small concrete and lead reliefs, then in large mural panels
engraved with illegible glyphs, inspired by Mesopotamian tablets'
cuneiform writing, Egyptian papyruses and Paul Klee's graphic
style. In 1960, Pomodoro was among the founders of the group
Continuita, next to Novelli, Consagra, Tancredi, Dorazio and
Fontana, preaching an 'aesthetic of continuity', defined as 'the
absence, the incertitude of limit' and attached to the formal
aspects of artworks. He thus produced his first Sfere, adopting
gilded polished bronze as his preferred material of work, and of
which the creation marks the definitive transition to monumental
scale of his career. Today, Pomodoro's creations can be found in
prestigious museum collections such as the Guggenheim in New York
and the Vatican Museums. Moreover, his monumental artworks are
exhibited in more than 40 public squares in major cities around the
world. The artist lives and works in Milan, Italy. Text in English
and Italian.
