Note du spécialiste

‘Klee and Brancusi were my putative fathers, but I owe a great deal to the United States for awakening this new consciousness. In Europe, nobody understands why works of art in the US became so oversized; Europeans attribute that to an excess of exhibitionism or a misunderstood sense of monumentalism. In the USA I understood that the problem was to confront a limitless space completely different from our own. New York is an extraordinary city, the city of skyscrapers.’ ARNALDO POMODORO
