Magazzino Italian Art’s annual spring lecture series brings together some of the leading scholars of Arte Povera who present new perspectives on postwar Italian art. The 2023 lecture series, curated by Dr. Roberta Minnucci, Magazzino’s 2022–23 Scholar-in-Residence, will address research topics which are strictly interconnected with Arte Povera’s relationship with the past and its artistic exchanges with the United States. Participants for the 2023 season will feature Dr. Marin R. Sullivan, Dr. Roberta Minnucci, Dr. Laura Petican, and Dr. Raffaele Bedarida.

Contributions from the selected scholars will shed light on crucial aspects of postwar Italian art including: the legacy of the Baroque and the influence of the Italian artistic tradition on more recent practices (Dr. Laura Petican, Independent scholar); the role exhibitions of Italian art in the U.S. had in influencing the way Italian art was interpreted at home (Dr. Raffaele Bedarida, Associate Professor of History of Art at the Cooper Union, New York); sculptural projects made by foreign and Italian artists during the 1960s and 1970s (Dr. Marin R. Sullivan, Lecturer, Department of History of Art and Architecture DePaul University, Chicago); the reinterpretation of classical antiquity and art history in Arte Povera (Dr. Roberta Minnucci, art historian specializing in Italian art of the 1960s and 1970s, with a PhD from the University of Nottingham).

The lectures will last approximately 45 minutes and be followed by a Q&A session. Tickets can be reserved here. Details on each program follow below:​
