Opening on Wednesday 25 September at 18.30 at Galleria Paolo Curti /
Annamaria Gambuzzi & Co: an exhibition by Ettore Sottsass.
The show features twenty large objects in silver produced in
limited
edition, designed by Sottsass specifically for this event.
The works of Ettore Sottsass are created through the assemblage of
simple
geometric figures (cubes, cylinders, spheres, etc.) and an
elementary use
of perspective. Evident characteristics include the utilization
of a
simple alphabet of forms, but reconsidered in a new way and
reference to
the perplexities of ancient cultures. Thus even a simple line
in his
drawings, firm, direct, normal, seems so solid that it could support the
entire world.
His works and designs are part of the permanent collections of important
museums, including the Museum of Modern Art of New York, the
Metropolitan
Museum of New York, Centre Georges Pompidou of Paris, the
Musée des Arts
Décoratifs of Paris, the Victoria & Albert Museum of
London, the Musée des
Arts Décoratifs of Montreal, the Israel Museum of
Jerusalem, the National
Museum of Stockholm.
