Abstract

The expanded anastatic reprint of the Italian designer's sulphurous catalog of 1973. 'Falce e martello: tre dei modi con cui un artista può contribuire alla lotta di classe' ('Hammer and Sickle: three of the ways an artist can contribute to the class struggle') by Enzo Mari was the little catalogue that accompanied his exhibition at the Galleria Milano in 1973. Today, the exhibition is re-proposed, with the same display and in the same historical Milanese gallery; the anastatic reprint of the catalogue is enriched with photographs and documents from the archives of the Gallery and from the Mari Archive, along with an essay by Bianca Trevisan which retraces the planning itinerary undertaken by the Milanese artist and designer, and an essay by Riccardo Venturi outlining the historical, artistic and political debate that the project was part of, and which was accompanied by a film that sparked a degree of controversy at the time. A snapshot of that tinderbox which was 1970s Italy, and a reflection on the hammer and sickle: the most iconic symbol of the whole of the twentieth century. Exhibition: Galleria Milano, Milan, Italy

Abstract

In 1959 Daniel Spoerri pioneered the first programmatic series of multiples―three-dimensional objects issued in edition―to be broadly distributed. With a radical emphasis on multiplication and movement, Edition MAT (Multiplication d’art transformable) presented an international selection of work by key figures in postwar kinetic and Op art. Multiplied is the first in-depth English-language study of this seminal project in the history of postwar art. The catalog presents the entirety of the three collections—1959, 1964, and 1965—consisting of 48 artworks by 35 European and US artists associated with kinetic and Op art, including such leading figures as Marcel Duchamp, Dieter Roth, and Jean Tinguely, alongside lesser known artists. With four essays, artist entries, and an appendix of newly translated historical texts, this volume sheds light on under-studied artworks as well as the body of critical thought connecting art, commerce, and display in the postwar period. Artists: Yaacov Agam, Josef Albers, Arman, Jean Arp, Enrico Baj, Davide Boriani, George Brecht, Pol Bury, Christo, Gabriele De Vecchi, Marcel Duchamp, Bo Ek, Robert Filliou, Karl Gerstner, Maurice Henry, Julio Le Parc, Roy Lichtenstein, Heinz Mack, Frank J. Malina, Enzo Mari, Christian Megert, François Morellet, Bruno Munari, Arnulf Rainer, Man Ray, Dieter Roth, Jesús Rafael Soto, Daniel Spoerri, Paul Talman, André Thomkins, Jean Tinguely, Victor Vasarely, Jacques Villeglé, Emmett Williams
