Catalog of an itinerant exhibition held at the Mart, Rovereto, Italy, October 12, 2019-February 2, 2020, and at the Museo Guggenheim Bilbao, Bilbao, Spain, February 20-May 10, 2020.

Full Description

Curator Germano Celant presents the
largest exhibition in Europe of works by American artist, Richard
Artschwager (1923-2013), commencing Italy, then in Spain.

Turning
to the understanding of space, everyday objects and perception, the
poetics of Artschwager has established itself as a unicum in the art of
the 20th century. His works deal with the representation of utilitarian
instruments reproduced with industrial materials such as formica,
celotex, acrylic painting, aluminum.

To these fundamental aspects
is added the attention to pure geometric form and pictorial illusionism,
resulting in paintings and sculptures that suspend the categories of
the image and objects in a limbo between the space they physically
occupy, the usefulness they refer to and their artistic representation.
