With the publication of the volume “Arnaldo Pomodoro” Forma retraces the personality and work of the contemporary Italian sculptor with a presentation of about forty works chosen from the historical repertory of the master, which comprise the monographic exhibition curated by Bruno Corà for Tornabuoni Art in Paris.
The volume opens with an ample critical essay by Corà, which introduces to the reading of the works presented in the volume and suggests a dual reflection, not just on the value of the master’s work with regard to the fundamental aspects of his artistic expression, but also on the role played by his action in the Italian and international cultural scenario. Thanks to the precious and close collaboration with the Pomodoro Archive and the critical contribution of essayist and poet Jacqueline Risset, the volume not only aims to constitute the catalogue of the Parisian exhibition, but also to present the figure of the master through a generous critical apparatus, in its turn enriched by a vast collection of photographs of the most important episodes, places and meetings in his artistic career.
The volume is concluded by an ample section dedicated to biography, bibliography, filmography and a list of the collective exhibitions in which Arnaldo Pomodoro has participated until today.
