ITALIAN POST-WAR SCULPTURE: BETWEEN FIGURATION AND ABSTRACTION

Italian postwar sculpture was dynamic, experimental, and original. This exhibition presents works created during the pivotal moment after the war when Italian sculptors rejected the past and redefined the meaning, purpose and manifestation of their art. Sculptors represented include Andrea Cascella, Pietro Consagra, Lucio Fontana, Marino Marini, Umberto Mastroianni, Fausto Melotti, Eduardo Paolozzi, Arnaldo Pomodoro, Francesco Somaini, and Alberto Viani. As sculptors built new and extraordinary forms, concurrently, their country built a new and buoyant Italy.
