Magazzino Italian Art in Cold Spring, New York, is launching a major exhibition titled “Tutto Boetti 1966–1993,” dedicated to the influential Arte Povera artist Alighiero Boetti. The show features approximately 30 works, including large-scale sculptures like the 1966 'Pavimento Luminoso' and his signature textiles, tracing his career from his 1967 debut in Turin to his final years. The museum will also host a symposium in collaboration with the Fondazione Alighiero e Boetti to discuss the artist's enduring legacy.
This exhibition is a significant addition to the scholarship of the Arte Povera movement in the United States, reinforcing Magazzino’s position as a primary hub for Italian postwar art. By focusing on Boetti’s transition from industrial materials to conceptual textiles, the show highlights the artist's pivotal role in redefining contemporary art through everyday objects. The long-term nature of the exhibition, running through 2028, suggests a major institutional commitment to educational outreach and deep-dive research into the movement's key figures.
