Guglielmo Achille Cavellini 1914-2014 Centennial Exhibition Guglielmo Achille Cavellini 1914-2014Born in Brescia, Italy in 1914, Cavellini is a historically important artist who gave context to the Italian Experimentation period and was the first artist to bridge postwar Italian art with American Pop Art. Yet his diverse body of work defies easy classification, as he quite spontaneously, eradicated art/life boundaries, recycled imagery from past works, appropriated and reused other artists’ works, generated exhibition possibilities, staged live events, utilized advertising strategies, inserted fictions into real events, celebrated silliness, and devised publicity stunts. 14 works on display plus posters, stamps and other material. A recreation of his live performance. A comprehensive 70-page catalogue designed and published by Colpa Press will be available with essays by Valery Oişteanu, John Held Jr and Piero Cavellini. Please register at Italian Institute of Culture in San Francisco for the opening reception of this exhibition,April 8th,2014
