Description

There is a vast selection of works which illustrates the richness of Mimmo Rotella's research, from 1954 to 2005. Unfolding in chronological order, the volume is divided into working periods each focusing on one or more techniques, highlighting the various stages of development of the artist's language. The volume demonstrates how his need for a continuous testing and reformulation of the artistic grammar, his credo in that stylistic nomadism, allowed him not to become trapped in one tired formula but which paved the way for a continually innovative practice that he carried forward tenaciously, radically, throughout the entire course of his career. The catalogue examines the works related to each technique analysed, enriched with various documentation: catalogues, invitations, books, magazines, newspapers, autograph writings, photographs, and statements by the artist concerning his poetics.
