Bertozzi & Casoni ( since 1980)

iampaolo Bertozzi and Stefano Del Monte Casoni, better known as Bertozzi & Casoni, stand out for their original and innovative ceramic sculptures. From their early studies at the Ceramic Art Institute of Faenza, their interests gravitated towards a dialogue with the great traditions in art and they nurtured an original vocation for experimenting with sculpture, seeing in ceramics the possibility of painted sculpture. Bertozzi & Casoni went on to attend the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna, and participated in exhibitions that focused more on the artists and the motivations for a “new ceramics” in an effort to bridge the gap in support of an expressive medium viewed as a minor art with respect to other artistic forms.

Richard Long…Two important invitation cards

Schermafbeelding 2019-12-05 om 14.58.42

Recently i acquired with the help of a good friend a wonderful collection of Eighties and Nineties invitation cards. Among them there were some very beautiful Richard Long cards and i wish to show two of these invitations in this blog.  About 5000 miles of space between the two locations where the opening was ( Glarus and New York  ) does not make the cards totally different. You can feel and see the hand of Richard Long in the design of the cards. Black and white photographs with red lettering on the upper side of the cards make the look identical, sizes are slight different, but it does not show immediately. These cards are true collectable Richard Long items and i believe that from the edition only some dozens will have survived. These cards and some other very ncie publications by Richard Long are now available at www.ftn-books.com
