Bonalumi has overcome the two-dimensionality of painting through the technique of 'extroflexion', which transformed the canvas into a sculpture. The volume accompanies the first great anthological exhibition dedicated to Agostino Bonalumi (1935-2013) in the city of Milan, a few years after his death. From the beginnings with Enrico Castellani and Piero Manzoni, through the sixties in contact with major European groups until the recent international rediscovery, the volume documents the multi-faceted and at the same time rigorous activity of one of the greatest interpreters of abstractionism in the world, who managed to overcome the two-dimensionality of painting through works on canvas that are transformed into sculpture, thanks to the technique of 'extroflexion'. The volume, with texts by Marco Meneguzzo and Philip Rylands, is complete with an anthology of writings about the artist and bio-bibliographical sections.

A protagonist of the Milanese cultural scene of the 1960s, Italian designer Nanda Vigo (Milan, 1936) began producing her Cronotopi in 1963, in the spirit of ZERO, the transnational group of German, Dutch, French, Belgian, Swiss and Italian artists. Participating in the avant-garde movements and groups of the early sixties, the artist developed her own thoughts on the light, transparency and immateriality that were to constitute her work as well as on the spaces inhabited by human beings. This book showcases the multifaceted activity of Nanda Vigo in the fields of art, architecture and design, analysed by curator Marco Meneguzzo. Text in English and Italian.

The volume describes the life, encounters and artworks of a great season in Italian art through the creative path of Giosetta Fioroni During the 1960s in Rome, the artist Giosetta Fioroni discovered her language of expression by combining her passion for literature with her passion for painting. She merged the perturbations of Informal Art with notions of emerging Pop Art - becoming one of its prominent figures. Silver is the colour characterising Giosetta Fioroni's paintings from that decade. And indeed it represents the artist's unmistakable 'trademark' - to the point of overshadowing the linguistic and emotional apprehensions populating her works and the events in her life before and after those happy and acknowledged times. This book, edited by Marco Meneguzzo and Piero Mascitti, portrays the complexity of an artist within the expressive abundance of a time and a city. A time and a city so stratified at a cultural level as to have more than one surprise in store for historical and critical analysis.
