| A Transversal Collection | ||||
| From Duchamp to Nino Calos, from Cattelan to Entang Wiharso Curated by Fabio Cavallucci |
||||
| The inaugural exhibition is the base of ALT’s permanent collection. It revolves around Tullio Leggeri’s large acquisitions as well as works from Elena Matous Radici's and the Academy of Visionaries. The curator included evocative artworks suggesting analogies and references, rather than following historical lines, from these collections that are so diverse in entity and character. Tullio Leggeri is an atypical collector, capable of bold moves in contemporary art. When he began at the end of the sixties, he had to buy an artwork of Manzoni in installments as he could afford it, whereas Fontana was still beyond his possibilities. Then in 2008 he produced and purchased Ex Privato by Daniel Knorr, an immaterial work, consisting of the opening of an exhibition space 24 hours a day. | Every so often, he is creator of projects, producer, patron, always emphasizing the importance of the relationship with the artist and the artwork as the result of such a relationship. Whether for his ability to build, which makes him a perfect counterpart in the production of the artwork, or for his sensitivity to choose the artwork itself rather than the artist behind it, quality always comes first. That is why you can find celebrated artists such as Marcel Duchamp or Maurizio Cattelan and less well-known like his friend Nino Calos, a key figure in the sixties and seventies in optical and kinetic research but almost forgotten nowadays. Indonesian Entang Wiharso was also chosen in order to provoke and to show a quality artist who is not usually present in the international circle. | Click to view the the full text |
