Description

Published to accompany the exhibition Italian Futurism, 1909–1944: Reconstructing the Universe, opening at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in 2014, this catalogue advances scholarship on an influential yet little-known twentieth-century artistic movement. As part of the first comprehensive overview of Italian Futurism presented in the United States, the publication traces the movement from its inception with Marinetti’s 1909 manifesto through its demise at the end of World War II. Presenting more than 300 works created between 1909 and 1944 by artists, writers, designers, and composers such as Giacomo Balla, Umberto Boccioni, Anton Giulio Bragaglia, Fortunato Depero, Gerardo Dottori, Marinetti, Ivo Pannaggi, Rosa Rosà, Luigi Russolo, Tato, and many others, it encompasses painting and sculpture as well as architecture, design, ceramics, fashion, film, photography, advertising, free-form poetry, publications, music, theater, and performance. A wealth of scholarly essays discuss Italian Futurism’s diverse themes and incarnations.
