Mario Schifano, the artist who anticipated Arte Povera and beyond. What the exhibition in Rome looks like

The Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome has opened a major retrospective of Mario Schifano, curated by Daniela Lancioni and titled simply "Mario Schifano," running until July 12. The exhibition reconstructs the career of the Italian artist (1934–1998), who worked across painting, film, and music, and highlights his role as a precursor to Arte Povera. A centerpiece is the reconstructed dining room Schifano created for the Rome home of Marella and Gianni Agnelli in 1968, featuring 14 canvases and a planned but unrealized sand-filled room with a pyramid, a detail revealed by film producer Ettore Rosboch in a conversation with the curator.

fiat family missing artworks collection investigation

The family behind the Fiat empire, the Agnellis, is under a new investigation into missing artworks and forgeries, as reported by the Times of London. Italian investigators are focusing on 13 works by artists including John Singer Sargent, Pablo Picasso, and Francis Bacon, allegedly missing from the collection founded by Giovanni Agnelli and expanded by his grandson Gianni, who died in 2003. Margherita Agnelli de Pahlen, Gianni’s daughter, claims she is being cheated out of her inheritance by Marella’s children from a previous marriage. Shippers reportedly brought copies of the works to the family’s Rome residence between 2016 and 2018, and Carabinieri are seeking information on the originals.
