Ceramic Sculpture Unique Piece by Agostino Ferrari

About the Item

Ceramic sculpture created by Agostino Ferrari. Unique piece. Signed and numbered. Biography Agostino Ferrari was born in Milan in 1938. Attracted by the art world since childhood, at twenty-one he decided to dedicate himself completely to it and in 1961, with works still linked to a naturalistic sphere, inaugurates his first solo show at the Pater gallery (Milan). In 1962, with the artists Vermi, Verga, Sordini and La Pietra, he founded the Cenobio Group which, although of short duration, was a founding experience for Ferrari: here began the research on the Sign that characterizes all his work. Over the years, in fact, the Sign is declined and investigated in multiple ways: from an initial scriptural tract becomes more plastic, to become physical, enter into a relationship with the surface of the painting and exit (Teatro del Segno); it then transforms into form and interacts with color and the psyche, finally it gets rid of superstructures and comes to express itself in its totality. Numerous national and international exhibitions have been held since the 1970s. Agostino Ferrari lives and works in Milan.

Ceramic Sculpture by Alessandro Guerriero for Alchimia
By Alessandro Guerriero, Gruppo Alchimia
Located in Milan, Italy
Plaster folded shirt with geometric shapes hand painted in pastel and matte colors. Alchemy production. Handpainted. Unique piece. Biography In 1976 Alessandro and Adriana Guerriero established Alchimia, the first example of manufacturing designers in Milan. In 1978 and 1979 they presented the Bau haus and Bau haus II collections. Lamps, armchairs, chairs, tables, cabinets, and so on. Artists involved: Alessandro Mendini, Ettore Sottsass, Bruno and Giorgio Gregori, Michele De Lucchi, Andrea Branzi, UFO, Paola Navone, Daniela Puppa, Franco Raggi. The prevalent decorative material is laminated plastic. Alchimia’s culture, which is against the Italian design (Casabella magazine) changes the base of all previous design theories, resulting in a profound and radical change in the mindset of architects. Visual Alphabets, Redesign, Trivial Design, Cosmetics and Sentimental Robot are the slogans underlying the exuberant and vast production of Alchimia city. In the theoretical manifesto of the group, Alessandro Mendini writes “Alchimia is not interested in disciplines because they are considered to be within their rules. Indeed, it is important to look into the existing large free spaces between them. Alchimia weighs the assumption that conception and confused production methods should coexist where craftsmanship, manufacturing, information technology, techniques and current and obsolete materials can get mixed up. “They are handcrafted objects, recycled, mass, improbable, provocative, Kitsch, all very theory-laden. It operates and experiences in many sectors: the Pensione Ideale (Franco Raggi), the Copertine di Domus (Occhiomagico), the Abito Sonoro and the performance of Persone Dipinte (Anna Gili), the Stilismo della Moda (Cinzia Ruggeri). The Neo-modern design, the new Italian design, is born. In 1981, the Mobile Infinito, due to excess, cancelled both the types and project designers, thus entering into theatrical experiment with the Magazzini Criminali. The emotional, psychological and anthropological activities expand to books, didactics, video (Metamorfosi) and sounds (Matia Bazar). Alessandro Guerriero is a founding member of Domus Academy in 1982 and in 1984, he began Nuova Alchimia...
