卡拉·阿卡尔迪，当代艺术I-

Carla Accardi * - Zeitgenössische Kunst I-

(Trapani 1924–2014 Rome)
Untitled, 1954, signed and dated; signed and dated again on the reverse, tempera (casein) on paper laid down on canvas, 68 x 32 cm, framed

This work is registered in the Archivio Accardi Sanfilippo, Rome and is accompanied by a photo certificate signed by the artist, Studio Accardi, Rome

Provenance:
Sale Nuova Brerarte, Milan, 11 December 1990, lot 71
European Private Collection (acquired from the above)

Note:
The paper was laid down on canvas directly by the artist as evident also from the signature and the date on the reverse.

Yes, 1954 was a critical year, but my first works featuring the sign, which I made on paper, were born in 1953. The meaning behind this choice, my surrender to the sign, which was basic at first and structural later, no doubt emerged from the idea artists have always had about contemporary art, about culture in their time.
Although I wasn’t studying mathematics or anthropology, Structuralism was a topical discovery all the same, something that exhisted in the Western world.
I bestowed an image on the Structuralist vision of the world; a visual image that bore all the components: events, the aggregation of signs were repeated in my paintings with phenomenic variations: but always faithful to themselves and repeatable.

Valerio Adami，当代艺术I-

Valerio Adami * - Zeitgenössische Kunst I-

(born in Bologna in 1935)
The Guggenheim, 1968, dated, signed and titled on the reverse, oil on canvas, 97 x 130 cm, framed

This work is registered in the Archivio Valerio Adami

This work is accompanied by a certificate signed by the artist

Provenance:
Sale Farsetti, Prato, 26 November 1994
European Private Collection

As Valerio Adami wrote in 1968, “The hand is a kind of seismograph giving body to the traces left by the circuit of imagination”: the drawing hand is an instrument that records what the eye looks at and the mind sees. It is the starting point of the artist’s method: the hand-seismograph that in the “journey of drawing” goes through the kaleidoscope of his inspiration, and that in the essentiality of the line reworks, summarizes, juxtaposes, disassembles and reassembles it. […]

The lines of the drawing, eternally moving as the mind distilling them, - since for Adami “nulla dies sine linea” (no day without a line) – are the “off the beaten track” trails that the artist constantly crosses and connects. He does so by bringing distant worlds together, from the Ganges to the Matterhorn and from Paris to Finland by making the Greek mythological narrative coexist with New York street life, by recalling the light spells of Lake Maggiore or the clouds at sunrise.
