Two hundred and fifty graphic works, thirty matrix plates<\/strong> and a selection of documentary videos<\/strong> reconstruct \u2013 in the exhibition curated by Achille Bonito Oliva<\/strong> \u2013 the history of the Stamperia 2RC in Rome<\/strong>, from 1962 in collaboration with some of the key figures in art from the second half of the 20th century to today.<\/p><\/p>\n

Valter and Eleonora Rossi<\/strong> and Franco Cioppi<\/strong> opened the Stamperia 2RC with the firm belief that graphic art was a true artistic genre, like painting and sculpture, and not merely an extension of the latter. The goal was to create a workshop that would develop various graphic techniques, allowing artists to work and experiment freely, just as they did with other mediums. Lucio Fontana, Alberto Burri, Gio\u2019 Pomodoro, Giuseppe Capogrossi, Giulio Turcato, Piero Dorazio, Pietro Consagra, Afro, Joan Mir\u00f2, Alexander Calder, Victor Vasarely, Man Ray, Max Bill, Henry Moore, Giacomo Manz\u00f9, Arnaldo Pomodoro, Graham Sutherland, Francis Bacon, Julian Schnabel, Enzo Cucchi, Francesco Clemente, and Jannis Kounellis are just some of the names of the artists who collaborated with 2RC.<\/p><\/p>\n

The collection exhibited in the show<\/em> \u2013 stated Bonito Oliva \u2013 is a journey through the history of contemporary art from the 1960s to the present, beyond any generational and poetic limits. It represents a panorama, in terms of presence and quality, that is absolutely reliable regarding the artistic creation of the second half of the 20th century to today. A creative tradition that is entirely Italian. The artisan\u2019s ability to become a maker, a producer of added value compared to the artist\u2019s initial project. The work, as conceived, becomes the result of a collaborative effort, an intertwining between artist, artist and artisan, concept and execution.<\/em><\/p><\/p>\n

On the occasion of the exhibition, a catalog<\/strong><\/a> has been published, edited by 2RC Stamperia d'arte, containing the entire production of 2RC, an introduction by Achille Bonito Oliva, and a biographical text by Valter Rossi.<\/p><\/p>\n
