Fondazione Arnaldo Pomodoro. La Collezione Permanente

One hundred and twenty works including sculptures, paintings, and drawings, partly by Arnaldo Pomodoro and partly by other artists, from Pomodoro’s personal collection and now forming the two cores of the Foundation’s Collection, presented to the public for the first time in an exhibition curated by Angela Vettese and Giorgio Verzotti.

The exhibition itinerary unfolds by documenting the two souls of the Collection. The first section, dedicated to the works of Arnaldo Pomodoro, is designed to guide the visitor through the stylistic evolution of the artist’s work, showcased in the exhibition through all its most significant phases: from his early beginnings to major commissions around the world, and including a section of projects for unrealized works. The second section, intended to be read in parallel with the first, documents Pomodoro’s interests, exchanges, and cultural correspondences with some of the leading international figures in visual art from the post-war period to today: from masters such as Arturo Martini, Man Ray, Miró, Licini, and Hans Richter, to Lucio Fontana, including fellow travelers like Enrico Baj, Gastone Novelli, and Kounellis, and reaching the younger generation with artists such as Schifano, Paolini, and Boetti, along with important international figures like Georges Mathieu, Louise Nevelson, Sam Francis, Mark Di Suvero, and David Smith.

The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue published by Skira.
