Ugo Mulas's Photographs of Pino Pascali in Polignano Exhibition

Curated by Alessio de' Navasques, the exhibition "Dialoghi. Pino Pascali e Ugo Mulas" at Polignano a Mare delves into the relationship between artist Pino Pascali and photographer Ugo Mulas during the late 1960s in Rome. The Fondazione Museo Pino Pascali features 41 black-and-white photographs from the Archivio Mulas, emphasizing Pascali's distinctive iconography. A significant highlight was a commission from Flavio Lucchini for L'Uomo Vogue, showcasing Pascali with contemporaries like Ettore Sottsass. Mulas, who started his career at Milan's Jamaica Bar in 1954, documented Pascali at the 1968 Biennale and in his studio prior to his tragic car accident. Following Pascali's passing, Mulas revisited his legacy for the 1970 exhibition "Vitalità del Negativo," presenting seven images of "32 metri quadrati di mare circa."
