Mario Russo Art

Italian, 1925-2000

Mario Russo, a Neapolitan artist, moved to Rome, Trastevere, in 1950. In these years, he began to exhibit in Italy and abroad. In 1953, he stayed in Paris and in 1960 in London with his own exhibition. Another exhibition in Monaco of Bavaria in 1965, three years later, in 1968, held two exhibitions in New York and accepted the invitation to exhibit his works at the Royalton College in 1970 Vermont. In 1970, he was enchanted from Sardinia and then decided to live there four months every year. His master is conquered by the sense of beauty, which is synonymous with the female body’s pervaded sensuality. In 1977, during a stay in Canada, he obtained new ideas on the man-machine relationship, which was always inherent in his paintings. In 1979, he was invited by the Italian Institute of Culture of Toronto to exhibit his works at Sudbury University. In 1981 in Florence, he was impressed by the Riace Warriors that inspired him to create a new series. In 1985, he devoted himself to his studies and construction of major works inspired by the world of cinema and the Fellinian characters: the director and with him, the atmosphere of his masterpieces enters in his paintings and is flattered by that event. In 1986, he performed a series of designs on the World of Greek and Roman sculpture of the museum in Naples. The following year is present in Washington with an exhibition dedicated to Federico Fellini. In 1989 in Porto Cervo, Russo exhibited a series of paintings dedicated to the beloved Sardinia. In 1991, he performed a series of paintings on the Gulf war and the plight of the Kurds and in the same year the study of a composition consisting of a group of figures in a garden was conducted. This was a positive sign of the evolution of his creative language that wanted to be the realization of a vision of the world of flowers compared with elements of classical art.

Nan Goldin Lydia Lunch at the Russian Baths, 268 East 10th Street, 1985 poster, 2018 Offset lithograph poster (unsigned, unnumbered and unframed) 17 × 22 inches Published by The Kitchen in 2018, on the occasion of their Gala honoring Nan Goldin and Lydia Lunch Provenance Acquired from The Kitchen on the occasion of their 2018 Gala Also accompanied by Certificate of Guarantee from Alpha 137 Gallery Excerpt from The Kitchen description of this event: “During the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, icons Goldin and Lunch were vanguards of post-punk New York. Both women have presented their work at The Kitchen throughout the years, consistently returning to premiere new works that went on to exemplify their careers. Goldin’s portraiture of her close-knit circle of friends in New York became emblematic of her generation’s grappling with the social issues of the time, from the epidemic of drug addiction to the AIDS crisis. Lunch is revered as a radical progenitor of No Wave music, fronting the influential Teenage Jesus and the Jerks and collaborating with acts like JG Thirlwell, Birthday Party, and Sonic Youth. Lunch has a broad artistic practice, also working in film, visual art, writing, and spoken-word. Goldin and Lunch have also collaborated on numerous occasions. For instance, the cover of Lunch’s 1995 album Drowning In Limbo featured a portrait of her taken by Goldin. Lunch also posed for Goldin’s project for The Village Voice’s short-lived fashion insert Vue in 1985. Shot as part of an editorial called “Masculine/Feminine,” the image of a reclining Lunch at Russian baths in the East Village was ultimately not included in the final layout, and we were pleased to be present the image for the first time as a limited-edition print in support of The Kitchen. At The Kitchen in November 1980, Goldin presented slides as part of Dubbed in Glamour, a three-day event of “spectacle and extravagance” organized by Edit deAk that featured primarily women artists. Introduced by Cookie Mueller, who served as the master of ceremonies, these slides were an early version of Goldin’s landmark work The Ballad of Sexual Dependency, which continued to take shape during the next few years. The Bush Tetras, who performed at this year’s gala, also participated in Dubbed in Glamour. In 1994, Goldin returned to The Kitchen to premiere three slideshows for the first time in the United States as part of the winter lecture series curated by Ira Silverberg. The first slideshow developed from her 1992 award-winning book The Other Side, which lauded the drag queens she lived with and among in New York. During the ‘70s, when Goldin first moved to the city, the people she lived with became not just her subjects, but also her chosen family. The second slideshow was a series of intimate self-portraits. The evening concluded with a collection of Goldin’s images that traced her relationships to her close friends Alf Bold, Gilles Dusein, and Cookie Mueller and celebrated the joy of their lives and the pain of their deaths from AIDS. In 1985, Lunch first appeared at The Kitchen as part of the two-night screening series of experimental short films, Super 8 Motel. She and Richard Kern...
