The exhibition Unico e ripetibile, which will open at the Triennale Museum on the 11th of September 2018, will present a selection of objects and art works that belong to the renowned Italian gallerist Massimo De Carlo. The exhibition will present more than 100 works and enthralling objects that the gallerist has privately collected, with passion and dedication, during his travels around the globe.
Unico e ripetibile investigates the connections between art and industry, highlighting the reciprocal relationship that exists between work of art and serial artefacts. The exhibition brings together an enticing series of Weimar Republic ceramics produced before the Second World War, Alighiero Boetti’s iconic embroidered text works, and the posters created between the 1960’s and 1990’s by the Italian graphic designer AG Fronzoni. Each collection creates a narrative that encompasses how art and taste have embraced the industrial world and vice versa: the viewer, as Massimo De Carlo himself has done whilst creating these collections, is asked to reflect on the significance of the word unique and on what the notion and act of collecting actually means.
