Italy's Modern Art from 1945 to 1975 on View in Pistoia

A major exhibition at Palazzo Buontalenti in Pistoia, curated by Meneguzzo, surveys Italian art from 1945 to 1975, covering the post-war reconstruction through the social upheavals of the 1960s and 1970s. The show is organized into thematic sections: formal experiments by artists like Scheggi, Castellani, Bonalumi, and Uncini, who explored the 'fourth dimension'; the Pop Art of Piazza del Popolo in Rome, featuring Tacchi, Pascali, Schifano, Festa, and Tadini; and the reflections of Arte Povera (Pistoletto, Kounellis, Merz, Boetti, Penone) and Analytical Painting. The exhibition also highlights early programmed art with Olivetti technology, including Boriani's magnetic surface. Curatorial juxtapositions reveal affinities between artists such as Baruchello and Simonetti, and Mariani with Kounellis. The show runs through 2019 at Fondazione Pistoia Musei.
