Capitolium Art Presents Giuseppe Uncini. Umanesimo e Potenza in Rome
Capitolium Art, an auction house established in Brescia with an exhibition venue located at via delle Mantellate 14/B in Rome, is showcasing Giuseppe Uncini. Umanesimo e potenza, under the curation of Enrico Mascelloni in collaboration with the Archivio Uncini. This exhibition displays eight pieces created between 1961 and 2000, such as Cementarmato (1961), Ombra di Piramide T28 (1977), and Rilievo n. 99 (2000), illustrating Uncini's evolution in perception. Born in Fabriano in 1929 and residing in Rome since 1953, Uncini examined the interplay between the freedom of materials and established norms. This event is part of Capitolium Art's ongoing postwar Italian sculpture initiative that began in 2023. A catalogue accompanies the show, featuring insights from Mascelloni, Marzio Uncini, and Uncini's reflections on his bond with Mario Schifano.
