1900-1959: the places of 'contemporary' art in Rome from the CRDAV collections.
A selection.
Curated by MACRO - CRDAV, Centre for Research and Documentation of Visual Arts. Library, Level II.
An exhibition that highlights the vitality of "contemporary" art in the capital from 1900 to 1959 using he extraordinary documentary material of MACRO’s Centre for Research and Documentation of Visual Arts, on display in the library. The exhibition is a chronological sequence of rare catalogues, brochures, invitations, and flyers, which reconstruct "a world": one in which, by going to exhibitions, galleries, cafés, libraries, and restaurants you could meet the entire literary and artistic world of those years. The exhibition is divided into two sections: 1900-1959: from the Palazzo delle Esposizioni to the Obelisk and 1950-1959: the original year. The exhibition also includes anthologies published by the galleries about their activities over the years, anastatic reproductions of published exhibition catalogues, monographs on exhibition themes and art periodicals (from Emporium to Spazio).
