GIACOMO BALLA "FIORI + SPAZIO" Arazzo lavorato a mano a punto a catenella

About the Item

Arazzo lavorato a mano a punto a catenella con filati di pura lana su tela di cotone. Prodotto grazie alla disponibilità delle figlie di Giacomo Balla, Luce ed Elica, che mostrarono a Elio Palmisano i disegni per tessili elaborati dal loro padre, rimasti solo allo stadio progettuale. Con l’entusiastica approvazione di Luce ed Elica, Palmisano decise di realizzare quelle opere rimaste incompiute. “Fiori + spazio” realizzato nel 1968 da un disegno del 1918 è il primo di questi manufatti realizzato in pochissimi esemplari, oggi entrati a far parte della storia della tessitura artistica italiana. L’atelier di Elio Palmisano rappresenta una delle poche imprese italiane (se non addirittura l’unica) ad aver realizzato un gran numero di arazzi e tappeti nel corso della seconda metà del Novecento, in sinergia con gli artisti contemporanei. Dal 1968 al 2005 circa Palmisano ha creato una collezione di quasi 320 soggetti, fra arazzi e tappeti, disegnati da artisti e designer di fama, da Giacomo Balla a Ettore Sottsass. Utilizzando le antiche tecniche artigianali di lavorazione, Palmisano è riuscito davvero a tessere lo scenario dell’arte italiana del XX secolo. Della manifattura di Elio Palmisano si è molto parlato nei quasi quarant’anni di attività, durante i quali le sue opere erano apprezzate e valorizzate soprattutto dal nuovo mondo del design.
