Location<\/em>: Palazzo Sozzifanti, Pistoia
\nDates<\/em>: 10 May to 26 July 2015
\nCurated by<\/em>\u00a0Bruno Cor\u00e0<\/p>\n

One hundred years after his birth, many countries, and especially the United States, will pay homage to the great Umbrian artist Alberto Burri, who, as Bruno Cor\u00e0 says, \u201cdemolished and reconfigured western art.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It is an anniversary that the city of Pistoia is also about to commemorate with a great exhibition. The exhibition presents a significant nucleus of works of art that are part of the collection owned by Giuliano Gori<\/strong>, one of Burri\u2019s greatest friends since the sixties, and a series of photographs by Aurelio Amendola<\/strong>, with whom Burri had a long professional relationship. These snap-shots provide a faithful portrait of the artist and the man. The image that made Burri famous all over the world was one take by Amendola. It is part of a spectacular series of photographs of \u201cCombustions\u201d created in Morra\u2019s studio in 1976. Alberto Burri\u2019s relationship with the city of Pistoia is also testified by the Grande Ferro Celle<\/em>, a sculpture designed by the artist in 1986 specifically for the open space along the road from Montale to Pistoia, just after the access road for the Fattoria di Celle di Santomato, where the Gori collection is housed.
\nIn addition to works of art belonging to the Gori collection, mainly created in the fifties, the exhibition also allows one to admire the historically important work of art entitled Sacco,<\/em>\u00a0dated 1952, on loan from the Palazzo Albizzini Foundation, the Burri Collection in Citt\u00e0 di Castello. The sacks represent an important part of Burri\u2019s personal history and that of post-war Italy. They can be considered Italian art\u2019s answer to the language of informal art.<\/p>\n

The exhibition is curated by the architect Tiziano Sarteanesi, the memorable curator of settings for the artist\u2019s exhibitions.<\/p>\n

The exhibition is sponsored by the Cassa di Risparmio di Pistoia e Pescia Foundation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
