Francesco Carone's 'Tempesta': An Infinite Collective Painting at Museo Novecento

Francesco Carone's artwork, 'Tempesta', measures 30×40 cm and began its journey in 2013. This piece is unique as it challenges traditional ideas of authorship, starting as a romantic seascape. Several artists, like Eugenia Vanni and Luca Bertolo, have added their own layers of paint, but Carone himself has chosen not to contribute. On January 22, 2019, Riccardo Guarneri, born in 1933, will add a new layer during a public event at Museo Novecento in Florence, kicking off at 6 PM after a morning session. Following this, a panel discussion with Carone, Guarneri, and the museum director Sergio Risaliti will take place. Carone's solo exhibition, 'Ciclope', runs until February 28, and he has stated that the artwork will remain unfinished until he passes away, raising questions about its ongoing sale as a living piece.
