Exhibition at the Ferrero Foundation, Alba, 9 October 2023 - 30 January 2024
Although he is one of the most important and internationally well-known Italian artists of the second half of the 20th century, Alberto Burri's (1915- 1995) work still holds many secrets in store, which this exhibition, and the accompanying catalogue, hope to shed light on.
Tar, paper, fabric, jute sacks, combustions of plastic, wood and iron with their welds: "Burri ennobled even the poorest and most ordinary materials, bringing them into the dimension of beauty, which, to be authentic, must always be reconquered."
This catalogue of Ferrero Foundation retrospective seeks to explore the beauty and complexity of the creative process that underlies all his work. The title La poesia della materia (The Poetry of the Material) evokes what Burri managed to produce, working with the most varied materials and recycling anything that happened to come into his hands with an inexhaustible creative energy.
