Publisher's Synopsis
A window into the lyrical sculptures of Fausto Melotti, the late Italian sculptor, painter and poet renowned as a pioneer of Italian art.
This catalogue accompanies the inaugural exhibition of Fausto Melotti at Hauser & Wirth New York curated by Douglas Fogle. Including historical material from the archive of the Fondazione Fausto Melotti, the extensively illustrated publication serves as a window into the work of an artist admired for his unique contribution to the development of mid-century European Modernism. The late Italian sculptor, installation artist, and poet moved freely among mediums, incorporating brass, stainless steel, ceramics and fabric into uniquely lyrical sculptures. Also creating drawings and mixed media works, the artist culled from his rich background in music, mathematics and engineering.
