Ugo Attardi Art

Italian, 1923-2006
Ugo Attardi (Sori, 12 March 1923 – Rome, 20 July 2006) was an Italian painter, sculptor and writer. He was born in the province of Genoa. His father, a trade unionist and active member of the “Federazione dei Marittimi” (Seafarers' Federation), originally from Santo Stefano Quisquina, a small village in the province of Agrigento, was forced by the Fascist regime to leave Liguria and return to Sicily. His mother was Natalia Attardi Donnini. After moving with his family to Palermo, intrigued by painting and its techniques from an early age (in his spare time he helped his paternal uncle, an old portrait and landscape painter), he began attending the Academy of Fine Arts and later the Faculty of Architecture. In 1945, he moved to Rome, staying with Pietro Consagra, who was himself a guest of Renato Guttuso. The climate rich in cultural and civil initiatives of the post-war period allowed him to resume his research with enthusiasm. In 1948, together with a group of young artists, he founded the abstract movement Forma Uno, but his views diverged from those of the rest of the group. His companions were Carla Accardi, Antonio Sanfilippo, Pietro Consagra, Piero Dorazio, Mino Guerrini, Concetto Maugeri, Achille Perilli and Giulio Turcato. In 1948, he participated in the National Exhibition of Figurative Arts (V Quadriennale Nazionale d'Arte) in Rome. In the early 1950s, he turned his art towards expressionism, drawing inspiration from Francis Bacon and George Grosz, among others, combining his artistic activity with political commitment within the Italian Communist Party. The need to experiment with a new and visionary relationship with reality led him to move away from abstractionism and study his own form of expressionism. In 1952 and 1954, he was invited to the 26th and 27th Venice Biennales. In 1956, despite the crisis of realism, he exhibited successfully in a gallery in Trastevere. In 1958, he participated in the founding of the cultural and political newspaper Città Aperta and began collaborating with it, together with Tommaso Chiaretti, Elio Petri, Renzo Vespignani and Mario Socrate. In the early 1960s, he participated in numerous exhibitions both in Italy and abroad. In 1961, he founded the group Il Pro e il Contro, leading all the events until the last year, when it was dissolved. In 1963, one of his works was exhibited at the Contemporary Italian Paintings exhibition, held in several Australian cities. In 1963-64, he exhibited at the Peintures italiennes d'aujourd'hui exhibition, held in the Middle East and North Africa. A trip to Spain led him to rediscover the classics and deepen his historical studies. In 1974, he created the banner for the Palio di Siena on 16 August. In 1986 and 1987, he exhibited at the ICAF in London and at the International Exhibition of Contemporary Art in Milan.

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...
