The first monograph on the influential 20th-century artist
Alighiero e Boetti and his groundbreaking works 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. Boetti had an idiosyncratic style of working, and he
often collaborated with or commissioned others to execute his
ideas, including his celebrated maps of the world, colorfully
embroidered by women in Afghanistan and Pakistan. He tended to
create several divergent bodies of work at once in series that he
continued throughout his life. Alighiero e Boetti is the first
monograph covering the whole career of this crucial artist to be
published in English. Rather than present a linear account of the
artist's creative practice, the book contains linked chapters that
expound on the key subjects of Boetti's art and position this work
in relation to that of his European and American contemporaries.
