This catalogue featuring Lucio Amelio (1931-1994) was compiled with the collaboration of the Amelio Archive to mark the 20th anniversary of his death. It retraces the story of an undisputed leading national and international figure in the history of contemporary art.
The years between 1965, which saw the opening of the Modern Art Agency gallery centred on the most experimental artistic practices and languages, and 1982, when Terrae Motus appeared, were a time of great activity and many projects and encounters for Lucio Amelio. The catalogue acknowledges this, presenting key works by more than 50 Italian and international artists together with an impressive amount of documentation consisting in a selection of 100+ historical documents, many being exhibited for the first time and drawn from the Amelio Archive as well as other public and private ones: handwritten letters, exhibition projects and sketches, photographs, invitations, posters, books, catalogues, brochures, numbered editions and architectural/engineering plans.
