Anna Paparatti's 'Il grande gioco' Exhibition in Rome

The exhibition 'Il grande gioco' at a Rome venue presents the life and work of Anna Paparatti through her own perspective, featuring pieces by Toti Scialoja, Renato Mambor, Cy Twombly, and Pino Pascali. The title references one of her early paintings, evoking the playful dimension that characterizes her approach to revealing reality's essence. A central table displays photographs and documents from Paparatti's archive, including shots with Pino Pascali and an image of her wearing a dress created by Jannis Kounellis and his wife Efi, worn as a living artwork at Galleria La Tartaruga. The exhibition also explores the parallel between art and fashion in the 1960s, where clothing became an artistic medium for self-expression and transformation, as noted by the curator. The show includes previously unseen works and highlights the friendships and encounters that animated Paparatti's life.
