Return of the MACro
MACRO’s permanent collection offers a selection of some of the most significant expressions characterizing the Italian art scene since the 1960s. Works by Italian artists of international repute illustrate how Italian nationals have figured along-side key protagonists of the international art world during recent years.
During the first years of the 1980s in the studios of the former Cerere pasta factory in Rome’s San Lorenzo neighbourhood, the artists Piero Pizzi Cannella, Gianni Dessì, Marco Tirelli, Domenico Bianchi, and Bruno Ceccobelli gave life to what would later be called the Nuova Scuola Romana.
MACRO’s collection also documents recent trends by key contributors to the development of the arts, to name just a few: Gianni Asdrubali exponent of the Astrazione Povera movement, Giovanni Albanese who uses irony and simulated flames to create poetic Ready-mades and mechanical inventions, and Cristiano Pintaldi who contests the structure of televised images through re-presentations in manual brushstrokes.
