With the passing of Arnaldo Pomodoro, the art world loses one of its most authoritative, insightful, and visionary voices. The Maestro leaves behind an immense legacy —not only for the power of his work, recognized internationally, but also for the coherence and depth of his thought, always capable of looking to the future with tireless creative energy.
"I have never believed in foundations that celebrate a single artist as unique. The artist is part of a cultural tissue; his active contribution can never be lost and that is why I conceived my foundation as an active and living place of cultural elaboration, as well as a center of documentation of my work, capable of making original proposals and not just passive preservation. But the best must be yet to come: this has only been a beginning and in my intentions the project –aimed at young people and the future – must take root, make continuity an inescapable element…"
The Foundation, born from this vision and strong in the direction traced by Arnaldo Pomodoro over the course of thirty years, will continue to operate according to the will of the founder, guaranteeing the preservation and enhancement of his work, committing itself to disseminating its material and immaterial heritage through the creation of exhibitions, events and initiatives in an inventive, almost experimental space of study and confrontation on the themes of art and sculpture, which aims at an involvement, deep and global, with people and society.
You will be missed Arnaldo and we shall treasure your teachings.
