Cesare Tacchi's overlooked late work showcased in Rome
A small exhibition at Z2O Project in Rome highlights Cesare Tacchi's later production, challenging the common perception that his best work was in the 1960s-70s. The show features mostly works from the 1990s, including 'Ha nelle mani nulla' (1992). Tacchi's shift began in 1974 with 'Sentire', evolving into a more Duchampian, mystical, and conceptual style. The exhibition aims to prompt a critical reassessment of the artist's entire career.
