Rodolfo Aricò and Anna Castelli Ferrieri in Milan
Galleria Tommaso Calabro in Milan presents "L'amore per il progetto," a posthumous exhibition pairing Rodolfo Aricò (1930-2002) and Anna Castelli Ferrieri (1918-2006). Both Milanese, they navigated architecture, design, painting, and sculpture. Aricò explored spatialism, using perspective axonometry and a vineyard sprayer for color to challenge the canvas. Ferrieri, an architect and humanist, directed Kartell's artistic direction from 1976 to 1987, pioneering functional design with materials like polypropylene, polyurethane, and resin. Their shared geometry transcends rigor into emotion.
