Description: PIERO MANZONI - AZIMUT. Published by Gagosian Gallery. 2011. Hard slipcover contains one catalog and two booklets. Its' 12.25" x 8.5" x 1". 2lb 15oz. NEW. Factory sealed. This catalog was published for the exhibition Azimut, organized in cooperation with the Fondazione Piero Manzoni. The exhibition celebrates the work of Manzoni and fellow artists during the brief life of the Azimut gallery in Milan from 1959 to 1960. Azimut opened in 1959 with an exhibition of Manzoni’s most radical work to date: Linee (Lines), drawings of a single line on a length of paper, signed, rolled up and sealed in a cardboard tube, which he then labeled. Azimut presented thirteen exhibitions and became a center for an international set of provocative young artists. The founding of the gallery by Manzoni and Enrico Castellani, with the help of their mentor Lucio Fontana, followed their collaboration on Azimuth, a journal dedicated to the “development of the newest and youngest avant-garde painting.” Featuring works by artists such as Robert Rauschenberg, Heinz Mack, Jean Tinguely, and Yves Klein, Azimuth’s two issues stand as essential documents of a radical “new conception” of art at the end of the 1950s. The exhibition Manzoni: Azimut brought together pivotal examples of Manzoni’s cycles Achromes, Linee, Uova Scultura (Egg Sculptures) and Corpi d’Aria (Bodies of Air) with early experimental canvases by his friends and collaborators in the Azimut project Enrico Castellani, Agostino Bonalumi, Dadamaino, and their guide Lucio Fontana. It is accompanied by a comprehensive publication by art historian Francesca Pola that tells the story of the Azimut/Azimuth project and includes facsimiles of the journal, with new English translations. - Free shipping anywhere in the USA. - I do ship International.
