Italia Pop exhibition at Fondazione Magnani Rocca explores Italian Pop Art's autonomy

The exhibition 'Italia Pop. L’arte negli anni del boom' at Fondazione Magnani Rocca in Mamiano di Traversetolo, curated by Stefano Roffi and Walter Guadagnini, runs until December 11, 2016. It presents Italian Pop Art from the 1960s, arguing for its linguistic independence from American Pop Art. Works by Franco Angeli, Giosetta Fioroni, Roberto Barni, Mario Schifano, Mimmo Rotella, and Giangiacomo Spadari are featured. The show includes a section on artist books and a final room dedicated to 'Po(p)litica,' highlighting the intersection of Pop Art and political engagement in the late 1960s. A collage by Mimmo Rotella serves as the exhibition's poster. The catalog is published by Silvana Editoriale.
