A boetti artist
By Achille Bonito Oliva, an exhaustive monographic exhibition about one of Italy's foremost and diverse artists of the 20th century.
For the first time, MADRE (the Donna Regina Museum of Contemporary Art in Naples) is paying tribute to this artist from Turin. The exhibition, organized by Achille Bonito Oliva, is arranged in a way that highlights the creative method of Alighiero Boetti. The conceptual nucleus is his modus operandi: his creation of an intuizione in solitude and then, later, the realization of the work with the assistance of carefully selected artisans. In this way, Boetti has succeeded in bringing the same degree of dignity to artist and creator. The exhibition includes his celebrated kilims (50 in all in the installation Alternando da uno a cento e viceversa), tapestries, maps and bronze sculptures (including his vertical “Self-portrait in the outside courtyard”) and, at the entrance, the life-size photograph of the performance “Oggi venerdì ventisette marzo millenovecentosettantatre”. Photos and videos document Boetti’s many travels to different parts of the world, especially Afghanistan and Pakistan, his contact with the local culture

This second part of the theme cataloguing of the work of Boetti, an artist who, to begin with, associated himself with the Arte Povera movement, looks at the crucial period when his work took the form of conceptual poetry. (1972-1979).
The second volume of this series cataloguing the work of Alighiero Boetti, one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Works 1972-1979. An artist who loved experimenting with new materials, from 1971, Alighiero Boetti commissioned some Afghan embroiderers to work on his most famous series, entitled Mappe (Maps). This and other works executed in the ‘seventies highlight some of the fundamental concepts underlying his work: multiplicity, diversity and repetition. It was between 1972, the year in which he decided to insert an ‘E’ between his name and surname to draw attention to the dual nature of his identity, and 1979, that Boetti created his most important works. This is the period covered by the second part of the general and theme catalogs published by Electa. The cataloging project, which is to be published in 4 volumes, is directed by Jean-Christophe Ammann with the collaboration of the Alighiero Boetti Archive.
