Pennacchio Argentato Decorative Objects

Pennacchio Argentato is an artistic duo composed by Pasquale Pennacchio (Caserta, 1979) and Marisa Argentato (Naples, 1977). They've worked together since having met at Academy of Fine Arts in Naples and later, they studied together sculpture at Städelschule Staatliche Hochschule für Bildende Künste, where they got the chance to study with eminent artists, curators, and philosophers.

Their works play with the idea of representation, property, and observation of our time and its social, economic, humanitarian, political and technological issues. Their artistic practice involves formal and visual strategies of abstraction, repetition, appropriation, enlargement, and fragmentation. The artists use a wide range of materials and techniques from performance materials such as titanium and carbon kevlar to more typical contemporary sculptural ones such as concrete and acrylic resins. Additionally, the artists assimilate video projections into their sculptures and experiment with 3D modeling techniques. They work a lot with series that usually tend to infinite and that never can be completed.

They participate in many solo and collective shows, especially around Europe. The most notable one were at: Oval Lingotto, Turin, 2017; Museo d'arte contemporanea Villa Croce, Genoa, 2016; Banca Fideuram, Naples, 2016; Palazzo Reale, Milan, 2016; MUSAC - Museo di Arte Contemporáneo de Castilla y León, León, Spain, 2011; Midway Contemporary Art, Minneapolis, 2010; MUHKA - Museum of Contemporary Art Antwerp, Belgium, 2014; Ausstellungraum Klingental, Basel, 2014 Autocenter, Berlin¸ Flip project space, Toronto, 2011; Landings Project Space, Vestfossen, Norway 2010; Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin, 2013; Frankfurt Kunstverein, Frankfurt am Main, 2011; Le Magasin - Centre National d'Art Contemporain de Grenoble, Grenoble, 2010; Pan - Naples and Palazzo Italia, Belgrade 2008; Progetto Radar, Venice, 2006;Villa delle Rose, Spazio Aperto, GAM di Bologna, Bologna; 2003; Ratti Foundation, Como, 2002; Viafarini, Milan, 2002.

1930s Italian Tall Dama, Polychrome Porcelain by Porcelain Cacciapuoti, Milan

By Guido Cacciapuoti

Located in Vigonza, Padua

Midcentury Italian tall important dama in polychrome porcelain by Porcelain Cacciapuoti, Milan. About Maiolica Cacciapuoti (Artistic Majolica Fratelli Cacciapuoti of Giuseppe, Ettore & Guglielmo Cacciapuoti - Schioppa & Cacciapuoti - Neapolitan Artistic Ceramic Factory of Mario Cacciapuoti & C. - Gres d'Arte Cacciapuoti & Bignami & C. - Gres d'Arte Cacciapuoti - Cesare Cacciapuoti.) The manufacturing of artistic ceramics "Cacciapuoti" was founded in Naples by Cesare Cacciapuoti, belonging to a family of maiolicaari from Campania. His son Giuseppe (1828-1896) inherited the company circa 1880, when some of his works were exhibited, first in Turin and then in Milan. In the factory also works his brother Ettore who presents some of his ceramics at the Paris Exhibition of 1889. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the manufacture, specialized in terracotta imitating bronze and copper, is managed by the sons of Giuseppe, Cesare (who opened in 1883 a factory in its own association with the manufacturer of crockery Schioppa), Ettore and Guglielmo. Among the collaborators of this early period we remember the painter Giovan Battista Foschi. Between the end of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, painters and modellers of the highest level collaborated with the firm, including Attilio Pratella and Filippo Cifariello. In the early twentieth century the manufacture passes into the hands of Ettore and Guglielmo who work to make the production more modern and competitive starting to produce earthenware works made by casting. In 1906 Ettore left the factory and moved to Paris where he began his career as a painter and Guglielmo took over all the shares in the factory and continued production under the name of "Stabilimento Ceramico Artistico Partenopeo". In 1907 the sons of Guglielmo, Mario and Guido moved to Treviso where they collaborated with the "Gregory" ceramic factory and where they met Arturo Martini In 1927 Mario and Guido, in partnership with Angelo Bignami, who deals with the commercial and administrative sectors, left Treviso and founded the "Mario Cacciapuoti & C." ceramics factory in viale Premuda 34 in Milan. Which remains active until 1930. In 1930 Mario died prematurely and the management of the company remained in the hands of Guido, who started manufacturing on the road to success, producing a production of high quality and quantity, both models and pieces. Among the ceramists working for the manufacture we remember: Francesco De Matteis, Giuseppe Granello, Ruffo Giuntini, Silvio Righetto, Giuseppe Renda, Achille D'Orsi and De Martino. In these years some animalist models are supplied to the manufactory by the sculptor and ceramist Sirio Tofanari...
