Description: Marino Marini Visual Passions - Encounters with Masterworks of Sculpture from the Etruscans to Henry Moore. A catalogue published on the occasion of an exhibit in Venice, Peggy Guggenheim Collection, 27 January - 1 May 2018, curated by Barbara Cinelli and Flavio Fergonzi. Printed in Italy October 2017, published by Silvana, hardcover with no jacket as issued, 255 pages profusely illustrated. From the Guggenheim website: "Marino Marini Visual Passions is the first retrospective dedicated to Marino Marini (1901 - 1980) and it intends to contextualize Marini’s work in a broader art historical context. The intimate galleries of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, the exhibition’s second venue after Palazzo Fabroni in Pistoia, allow an unprecedented, concentrated and close examination of more than fifty sculptures by Marino Marini. These are exhibited together with twenty additional works ranging from antiquity to the 20th century which lend comparison to Marini’s work. The exhibition allows for an intensive dialogue between Marini’s sculptures and those from the Italian plastic tradition which interested the artist - the great models of the 20th century and important examples of the sculptural tradition from past centuries: Egyptian, ancient Greek and Etruscan antiquities, Medieval, Renaissance and 19th-century sculpture which have never before been exhibited at Palazzo Venier dei Leoni. Such dialogue offers a new and critically innovative point of view on the themes addressed by Marini, moving beyond the limits of chronology, styles and periods. Following Marini’s artistic production from the 1920s to the 1950s, each room displays aspects of this dialogue. More than 70 works are exhibited in the temporary exhibition galleries as well as in the museum’s Project Rooms and the adjoining veranda." In excellent condition: solid, square binding; some wear to top front corner; tiny bit of wear to bottom rear corner; very faint scuffs/scratches on front and rear boards; interior is flawless except for a sticker placed at the bottom right corner of the title page - its purpose is unknown, but the black marker suggests it was used to cover something. A beautiful book.
