Un tesoro attraverso i secoli - La collezione Basilewsky a Palazzo Madama
Circondato dalla città, è il suo cuore più quieto e riservato, Palazzo Madama è il fulcro della memoria storica di Torino, un concentrato di bellezza ed eleganza. Stanze che ora sono arricchite, ma solo temporaneamente, dalla pregiata selezione di fantastici manufatti dell’incredibile collezione Basilewsky, giunta dall’Ermitage di San Pietroburgo. Un carico di reperti storici fantastici, realizzati con rari materiali; antichi smalti, stupefacenti avori, raffinati ori. Segno dei tempi antichi quando ogni oggetto era forgiato a mano, unico e irripetibile.
Elmo (Borgognotta) Bottega di Filippo Negroli (?),
Milano, 1532-1535 Acciaio forgiato e cesellato, dorato e brunito
La mostra “Il collezionista di meraviglie” offre nel magnifico salone centrale un breve e antico percorso di raffinata produzione artistica. Una raccolta di oggetti che raccontano di un’Europa, ma non solo, che era unita dall’alta qualità dei maestri d’arti, che si confrontavano nell’eccellenza della creatività.
Raffinato nobile russo, che visse come diplomatico a Parigi, Alexandre Petrovic Basilewsky è un esempio della ricercata e cosmopolita cultura del secolo scorso, quando la bellezza e l’unicità erano una necessità culturale condivisa dalla società più illuminata. Così negli anni egli collezionò e ricercò le opere più preziose e irripetibili che il mercato del tempo offriva, spaziando dalle corti reali ai monasteri, dagli antiquari agli artigiani del suo tempo.
Qui nella mostra sono proposti ottantacinque selezionati manufatti. S’inizia dall’era paleo-cristiana, con rari cimeli liturgici, delicati reliquari, per giungere alla fine dell’ottocento con le raffinate ceramiche francesi, un piccolo ma stupefacente tesoro di bellezza. Scopriamo la punta più evoluta dell’artigianato medievale, rinascimentale, barocco; tutto il meglio che nel tempo antico fu prodotto e che resta inimitabile, un’occasione eccezionale.
Questa grande opportunità è stata realizzata per celebrare la formazione della raccolta, nata come Museo Civico di Torino centocinquanta anni fa. Nucleo da cui si svilupparono il museo di Palazzo Madama, la Galleria Civica di Arte Moderna, il Museo del Risorgimento e il Museo di Arte Orientale. Una storia di lungimiranza amministrativa e di amore dei grandi collezionisti che donarono le loro raccolte, come Emanuele D’Azeglio, Leone Fontana ed Ettore de Fornaris.
Brocca Venezia, metà del XVI secolo Vetro incolore, fili di vetro lattimo fusi, doratura
L’evento è la prima prova d’interscambio fra il museo torinese e la grande istituzione russa, che produrrà anche futuri progetti di confronto fra le due vaste raccolte d’arti. Pare, infatti, che già prossimamente il famoso “ritratto di gentiluomo” di Antonello da Messina sarà esposto all’Ermitage, da dove giungerà la stupenda “Sacra Famiglia” di Raffaello.
Acquasantiera Santi e il Compianto Tardo XV-inizio XVI secolo, Francia
Un meritato ringraziamento va al gruppo bancario Intesa San Paolo che ha dato sostegno a questo grande momento di cultura per la città di Torino.
Palazzo Madama - Museo Civico d’Arte Antica. Piano nobile e Sala Senato, Piazza Castello, Torino
Orario del museo: martedì-sabato 10-18, domenica 10-19, chiuso lunedì
Ingresso: intero € 10, ridotto € 8, gratuito ragazzi minori di 18 anni

I collezionisti sono stupidi? A volte sorge il dubbio
Si è appena conclusa un’ennesima positiva edizione di ArtBasel e viene spontaneo domandarsi sei i collezionisti siano furbi o stupidi?
Intendo furbi se sanno vivere in modo piacevole l’esperienza fieristica e ne traggono il giusto godimento, stupidi se supinamente vi partecipano come prassi per poter “stare” in un sistema di significati a cui credono, ma senza averne reale interesse o forse capacità.
Questo si percepisce soprattutto quando gli “acquisti” risultano molto “noiosi”, vedi le tante repliche di opere artistiche che anche in una fiera di pregio si vedono in giro.
Perché, persone che vogliono fingersi intelligenti e capaci, acquistano opere-repliche, pagandole come privilegi, anziché cercare una via personale ed esclusiva, come dovrebbe essere la realtà dell’arte?
Perché anche nell’arte il gioco dei multipli è diventato prassi comuni in un universo dove l’unicità era la base del valore artistico?
Perché sempre più l’enfasi sul collezionismo e sinonimo di omologazione e non di originalità?
Perché il rapporto fra pezzo e qualità è spesso a scapito della qualità?
Interrogativi che trovano complesse risposte e che mettono in discussione il reale senso del sistema dell’arte stesso, che sempre di più erode il suo fulcro (la bellezza e l’unicità) a vantaggio di una finzione che sempre più ha il fiato corto.
Dopo pochi anni di euforico grande mercato del contemporaneo la realtà si sta già depauperando, le opere sembrano sempre più oggetti, questo è molto pericoloso, l’arte non è un solo oggetto fisico da consumare, ma una trasformazione di un pensiero/percorso, svuotarlo del suo senso è snaturare il valore stesso dell’arte.
Sicuramente si tornerà a una ricercata unicità, a un senso forte, che questo sia sempre meno nel mondo dell’arte sarà sempre più possibile, poiché questo mondo ne sta negando il suo senso.

Monaco, la Côte d’Azur, Picasso e le feste
Questa estate il Grimaldi Forum del Principato di Monaco, crea un grande evento realizzando la mostra "Monaco fête Picasso", un tributo al 40 ° anniversario della morte di questo artista di fama mondiale.
La volontà del Grimaldi Forum Monaco è quello di offrire una nuova prospettiva sulla produzione artistica, rivelando non solo il rapporto speciale che aveva con la Costa Azzurra, grazie ai prestiti di una straordinaria collezione privato di notevole valore.
La mostra sarà realizzata con due set tematici, con più di 160 opere, "Picasso Riviera" porterà i visitatori in giro per Antibes-Juan-les-Pins, Golfe-Juan, Mougins, Cannes, in una regione che ha visto spesso passeggiarvi Pablo Picasso, tra il 1920 e il 1946, dove la bellezza della luce mediterranea, il mare e la costa furono fonti dirette di ispirazione.
La seconda sezione sarà "Picasso nella Collezione Nahmad" che metterà in luce i capolavori dell'artista che svolgono un ruolo essenziale in questa collezione unica, per la sua dimensione e qualità, fatta da Ezra e David Nahmad durante gli ultimi cinquanta anni.
Il curatore della mostra è fornito congiuntamente da Jean-Louis Andrai, direttore del Museo Picasso di Antibes, da Marilyn McCully, riconosciuto specialista, e Michael Raedurn noto scrittore.
Questa mostra è supportata dalla Compagnie Monegasque de Banque, d'Amico, Museo Picasso, Antibes, e France Culture.

Music and Performance
Newton Dunbar
Grand Entrance
18.30 - 22.00
Established in 1966, the Four Aces Club became the home of Black international music in Hackney. Hosting acts such as Desmond Decker and Stevie Wonder, to a later revival as rave club Labyrinth, the venue represented a rich and controversial era in Dalston’s past. The landmark subsequently fell victim to gentrification and is sadly no longer. Reminisce with club pioneer Newton Dunbar, as he spins some classic reggae tunes.

Robert Irwin Scrim veil—Black rectangle—Natural light, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York
In questi giorni al Whitney è stata installata la grande opera di Robert Irwin "Scrim veil—Black rectangle—Natural light, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York" del 1977, fino al 1 Settembre.
Scrim veil—Black rectangle—Natural light, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (1977), by California Light and Space artist Robert Irwin, is a large-scale installation that uniquely engages the Whitney’s iconic Breuer building and the natural light that emanates from the large window in the fourth floor gallery space. Part of the Whitney’s collection, the work was made specifically for the Museum’s fourth floor. It has not been exhibited since its 1977 debut, a pivotal moment that would set the course for Irwin’s subsequent artistic practice.
The presentation will be accompanied by a digitized version of the original Robert Irwin catalogue, published by the Whitney at the time of his 1977 exhibition, which includes an ambitious combination of images, project plans, and theoretical texts written by Irwin himself as well as biographical and exhibition information compiled by the exhibition’s curator, Richard Marshall. The catalogue will be updated with a new introduction by Whitney Chief Curator Donna De Salvo and will be available for viewing exclusively at whitney.org.
Robert Irwin: Scrim veil—Black rectangle—Natural light, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (1977) is organized by Donna De Salvo, Chief Curator and Deputy Director for Programs.
Fabulous Muscles, Danh Vo, al Museion di Bolzano
Molto bella la mostra di Dan Vo al Museion di Bolzano
Danh Vo (Vietnam, 1975) si è imposto in pochi anni nel panorama artistico internazionale con lavori in cui i grandi temi della storia come colonialismo, migrazione e rapporto tra Oriente e Occidente si intrecciano alla sua vicenda personale.
A Museion l’artista presenta “We the People”: più di venti frammenti in rame di dimensioni monumentali invadono il quarto piano del museo. I pezzi riproducono a grandezza naturale parti della Statua della Libertà, l’icona simbolo di New York e dell’America, che viene quindi riproposta smembrata.
Il progetto pluriennale dell’artista, che prende il nome dalle prime parole della Costituzione degli Stati Uniti d’America, giunge alla fase conclusiva dopo aver toccato diversi musei europei e non, dal Fridericianum di Kassel all’Art Institute di Chicago.
A prima vista i frammenti ricordano le sculture della tradizione greco romana o addirittura la minimal art: solo in alcuni si indovina la possibilità di un panneggio o un ricciolo dalla corona della Statua. La tecnica è la stessa dell’originale, la tecnica a sbalzo. Ciò nonostante, i pezzi non si limitano ad essere una semplice copia, un ready made. Nel riproporre la scultura in frammenti, Danh Vo fa materialmente a pezzi un’icona e apre così una riflessione sul concetto di libertà, insinua interrogativi, ma lascia comunque grande autonomia associativa al visitatore.
Rotture e discontinuità sono parte della pratica artistica di Danh Vo.
Apparentemente slegati dai frammenti metallici della Statua, sono in mostra anche i pezzi di una statua lignea (Beauty Queen, 2013) trovata dall’artista a Parigi. Al peso fisico e simbolico della Statua fanno da contrappunto invece la leggerezza e la “liquidità” di icone contemporanee e del consumo, come i semplici cartoni da imballaggio con stampati a foglia d’oro i marchi della nota birra Budweiser e dell’acqua Evian. In questa serie di opere è evidente il riferimento ai cartoni realizzati da Robert Rauschenberg agli inizi degli anni ’70.
La scrittura e la lingua giocano un ruolo importante nell’opera di Danh Vo e aprono diversi livelli interpretativi, anche nella scelta dei titoli. Lo stesso avviene per la mostra a Museion. “Fabulous Muscles” può riferirsi alla fisicità della Statua della Libertà o, cambiando radicalmente piano, in maniera irriverente al linguaggio del mondo gay e quindi al noto album della band americana Xiu Xiu.
In occasione della mostra a Museion è stata realizzata una pubblicazione trilingue in collaborazione con Mousse Publishing (ita/dt/eng) con un testo di Manuela Ammer.
Danh Vo (Vietnam, 1975), vive e lavora tra Berlino e New York. Personali in musei e istituzioni internazionali come l’Accademia di Francia a Roma (2013), la Renaissance Society di Chicago (2012), la National Gallery di Copenhagen (2012), Kunsthaus Bregenz (2012), Kunsthalle Friedericianum di Kassel (2011), Kunsthalle di Basilea (2009), MoMa, New York (2009), lo Stedelijk Museum di Amsterdam (2008). Nel 2012 ha vinto l’Hugo Boss Prize. Al premio è seguita una personale al Guggenheim Museum di New York nel 2013. L’artista è presente alla 55. Esposizione Internazionale d’Arte della Biennale di Venezia.
Parallelamente alla mostra a Museion si svolge al Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris la personale di Danh Vo “GO MO NI MA DA” (dal 24 maggio al 18 agosto 2013).

Sempre più si compra on-line, anche per l'arte
Molto interessante la notizia, fonte ArtTactic e
Hiscox, che su 230 collezionisti consultati oltre il 50% afferma di comprare
opere attraverso il web senza vederle dal vero, per una spesa compresa fra i
1000 e 10.000 euro ma alcuni dichiarano anche valori più alti.
Hiscox’s Online Art Trade Report 2013 in collaboration with ArtTactic examines how the buying habits of art collectors are evolving in an increasingly digitalised world. It explores the confidence today’s art collectors have in buying artwork based on a digital image only as well as the opportunities this brings to galleries and dealers, and its findings are based on interviews with hundreds of influential international art buyers, collectors and galleries operating in the contemporary art market. The report also looks at age, gender and geographical differences in what people are buying and how they are buying it in an online marketplace. Click here to access full report
Londra l'attimo dell'antico - Il meglio del mondo antiquario, ma non solo, nella capitale inglese
Da questa sera fino al 3 Luglio a Londra è la volta di Masterpiece alla Royal Hospital Chelsea, importante fiera d'arte e antiquariato a cui si affianca la London Art Week, da domani fino al 5 Luglio, suddivisa in due sezioni Master Paintings e Master Drawings.
Masterpiece London, alla sua quarta edizione, si svolge nel cuore di Londra, facilmente raggiungibile, nelle zone più esclusive della capitale, fra Chelsea, Mayfair, Knightsbridge e Belgravia.
La rigorosa selezione dei pezzi e la qualità delle opere proposte ha fatto crescere rapidamente questo evento, facendolo diventare uno dei più interessanti del mondo.
Quest'anno ci sono venti nuovi prestigiosi espositori, tra cui Ariadne Galleries (New York), Martin du Louvre (Parigi), Veronique Bamps (Parigi), Galerie Willy Huybrechts (Parigi), Galerie Vauclair (Parigi), Mayoral Galeria D’Arte (Barcellona), Stockspring (Londra), Montblanc UK Ltd (Londra) and Rolleston (Londra).
Tornano anche i promotori della fiera con raffinate opere nei diversi settori della creatività, così ci sono importanti dipinti storici da Dickinson, squisiti gioielli da Siegelson, rari argenti da Koopman, sculture rinascimentali dai Fratelli Tomasso, arte popolare da Robert Young Antiques, ceramica contemporanea e vetro da Adrian Sassoon, scultura dalla galleria Sladmore e arte moderna da Whitford Fine Art.
Quest'anno Masterpiece London accoglie nei suoi spazi la Courtauld Gallery come museo beneficiario. La cui straordinaria collezione si estende dal primo Rinascimento al 20° secolo e comprende anche esempi di scultura e di arti decorative che lo rendono il complemento perfetto per la fiera.
Masterpiece London è un'interessante fiere per gli appassionati di antiquariato, arte e di design; che qui possono trovare opera artistiche solide e storicizzate, sicure così dai rapidi mutamenti del contemporaneo, che è comunque proposto in questi giorni a Londra dalle case d’aste Bonhams, Christie’s, Philips e Sothby’s in offerta in questi giorni.

The What If?... Scenario (after LG)
Un nuovo ed interessante progetto sostenuto da TBA21 il nuovo intervento di Cerith Wyn Evans per i dieci anni della fondazione nella sede di Augarten a Vienna.
In The What If?... Scenario (after LG), Wyn Evans literally sets the stage for a multitude of potentialities, contingencies, and uncertainties about given conditions and structures of what we see and what we know and how we come to know without ever solidifying his position into a positivist affirmation but rather remaining suspended in "weak connections". His luminous works, collected by TBA21 over 10 years and here shown together for the first time, unfold a spider web of artistic, literary, and referential signifiers, waiting to be glimpsed and grasped by a viewer who cannot but become an active performer in a play of multiple meanings and speculations. Wyn Evans’s artistic strategy interrupts our habitual access to the world of objects and meanings by disrupting our associative and (re-)cognitive patterns, locating gaps, hinting at subliminal associations, anecdotal slippages, contingencies, and errors in translation.
Cerith Wyn Evans, however, uses almost exclusively the "already written", stages it as event, "queers it", displaces it and makes it truly contingent. Working mostly with film, light, communication technologies such as Morse code, literature, and quotations, he complicates the materiality and structural aspects of coded communication and text at the threshold of installation. Exploring and exploiting the limits of vision, the reticence of the retina, and structural cinematic experiences, he plays with the viewers’ psychophysical condition, approaching his or her sensorium in multiple audiovisual languages that are waiting to be translated, decoded, and interpreted within an open horizon of meanings without ever fully losing control of the frame of interpretations.
In the tradition of TBA21’s first three shows at the Augarten, which operated in essentially monographic yet specifically dialogical form and understood as artistic encounters, the show presents the second iteration of Cerith Wyn Evans’s collaboration with the German artist Florian Hecker,
No night No day (2009), first shown at the Teatro Goldoni on the occasion of the 53rd Venice Biennale. The work, a junction of two independently produced parts, can be seen as a materialization of the "third mind" as established by William S. Burroughs and Brion Gysin: a third space that is created through the encounter between two minds and that results in an unforeseeable and not simply additive but rather potentiated realm, an extrapolation of the two voices. No night No day will be presented for the first time in an installation version, adapted to the spatial configuration of the Augarten.
TBA21 began collecting Wyn Evans’s work very early in the foundation’s history, resulting in a unique assembly of the artist’s oeuvre and as such an array of pointers to questions and propositions that can be posed and poised together at TBA21–Augarten. Additionally a newly commissioned large-scale abstract neon work will take its departure from representations of the collisions of high energetic particle beams in a particle accelerator superimposed with the chemical formula for LSD as discovered by Albert Hofmann. Experience, vision, and (speculative) perception introduced into notions of science, heuristics and faith, communication and illustration render an abstract geometrical figure essential for the formation and theoretization of a universal sub-atomic particle.

Vermeer e la musica alla National Gallery di Londra
Oggi prende avvio, alla National Gallery, una mostra che esplora i passatempi musicali dei Paesi Bassi nel 17 ° secolo vista attraverso l'arte di Vermeer e dei suoi contemporanei.
Per la prima volta alla National Gallery ci saranno due dipinti di Vermeer, "Una giovane donna in piedi a un piano" e "Giovane donna seduta a un piano" sono riuniti con "Suonatore di Chitarra", che è attualmente in prestito eccezionale dal Lascito Iveagh, Kenwood House.
Tre giorni alla settimana i visitatori possono sperimentare le performance live , nello spazio espositivo, con l'Accademia di Musica Antica, portando i quadri in dialogo con la musica del periodo.
La musica era uno dei temi più popolari nella pittura olandese, realizzata da molte associazioni musicali. Nei ritratti, la rappresentazione di uno strumento musicale o di uno spartito potevano suggerire la posizione sociale del personaggio, il suo grado di istruzione .
DKNY icons...
Il noto marchio di moda ha coinvolto dieci pittori murari a realizzare una nuova icona per il marchio.
Il primo murale DKNY su Houston Street è diventato una nuova icona York City e l'ingresso non ufficiale per il quartiere di SoHo 1992-2008, catturando lo spirito e lo skyline di Manhattan. Questa estate, DKNY porta il logo iconico schiena completamente reinventata con il progetto # DKNYARTWORKS. Dieci artisti commissionati in dieci città internazionali, tra cui Milano, sono stati invitati a creare opere d'arte originali incorniciati all'interno le lettere del logo DKNY, reinterpretando l'iconico muro SoHo attraverso il loro unico punto
Una sera prenotati il Cenacolo, gratis ...
Da giugno a dicembre nuove aperture straordinarie del Refettorio di Santa Maria delle Grazie a Milano, dove Leonardo dipinse l'Ultima Cena, grazie a Eni Cultura.
Dopo il successo di febbraio e marzo, si ripete l'iniziativa che ha reso possibile ammirare gratuitamente, oltre il normale orario di apertura, questo capolavoro, meta di visitatori da tutto il mondo.
L'ingresso libero caratterizza il sostegno di Eni all'arte e alla cultura, secondo la consolidata formula dell'eccezionalità nel proporre un evento unico e irripetibile, come l'esposizione a Palazzo Marino delle opere di Georges de La Tour, provenienti dal Museo del Louvre, apprezzati da 210 mila visitatori o come la possibilità di visitare gratuitamente i Musei Civici milanesi .
Fin dai tempi di Enrico Mattei la cultura costituisce per Eni un importante terreno di iniziative attraverso cui coniugare la propria natura di grande società energetica con il tessuto sociale e culturale dei paesi in cui opera. Affermarsi come impresa che agisce per lo sviluppo di un territorio specifico è il principale obiettivo di ogni progetto.Un'occasione speciale, dunque, di apprezzare questa opera unica, conosciuta da tutto il mondo, e già dichiarata Patrimonio dell'Umanità.
