This book, dedicated to the works of Paolo Scheggi, is presented on the occasion of the exhibition of four works by the artist for Art Basel – Basel 2015. This is the first time since the 1966 Venice Biennale that four Intersuperfici have been shown together.
The publication, coordinated by the Tornabuoni Art gallery, was written with the collaboration of the Paolo Scheggi Association.
Luca Massimo Barbero, senior curator of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice and head of the Association, describes and analyses the artistic and personal voyage of Paolo Scheggi, with a significant critical essay, using extraordinary images to document his relationship with other colleague/artists of the period and to demonstrate the deep respect shown for Scheggi’s work by eminent critics such as Gillo Dorfles, Germano Celant, Nello Ponente and Umbro Apollonio.
The book is also enriched with a number of texts celebrating the artistic ferment of the period, and with images of Julio Le Parc, Lucio Fontana, Agostino Bonalumi and other leading figures of the 1966 Biennale.
