Alighiero Boetti
Alighiero e Boetti: Mappa
$45
A fully illustrated catalogue edited by Gladstone and Fondazione Alighiero e Boetti with an essay by Jean-Christophe Amman, who is also the director of the Alighiero e Boetti catalogue raisonné. This publication accompanied the first ever retrospective entirely dedicated to Alighiero e Boetti’s Mappa series, exhibited at Gladstone in 2009.
In the Mappa, the meticulous technique and skill pushes the viewer to consider the labor involved in the production and, by extension, the passing of time. The Mappa invite the viewer to locate familiar places and note changes along a fabric of time. Introducing playfulness and political consciousness, they remain neutral while connecting the universal and personal spheres.
