Rotella: Catalogue RaisonnéRotella: Catalogue Raisonné

Volume Two 1962–1973

Published by Skira.
Edited by Germano Celant.

Domenico “Mimmo” Rotella (1918-2006) helped pioneer the postwar Nouveau Realistes’ exploration of the torn poster, with his richly textured collages composed mainly of glossy magazine imagery, movie posters and advertisements.

The second volume of the artist’s extended catalogue raisonné, this publication focuses on work created between 1962 and 1973 as Rotella continued with his décollage practice while becomingly increasingly interested in the printing process. The resulting artypos make use of overlapping photo emulsions on canvas to create compositions evocative of pop culture. With a keen focus on visual and cultural trends, Rotella’s work from this period of his career takes the iconography of the times and puts a unique interpretive spin on it.

This catalogue raisonné provides scholarly analysis and verification alongside gorgeous full-color reproductions of Rotella’s pieces.

Mimmo RotellaMimmo Rotella

Selected Works

Published by Skira.
By Germano Celant.

The art of Mimmo Rotella seems to be marked by a constant play of chance and intuition–”the mythical mental radar” to which the artist often alludes in his writings–and can be characterized by his attraction to the unusual, the unexplored and the unforeseen. Germano Celant traces Rotella’s work, in all of its diversified phases and periods from 1946 to the present, including the initial geometrical and pre-décollages works, the decollages and the verso of torn street posters, the artypo and emulsified canvases, the blanks, and the overpaintings. Rotella has been the subject of numerous retrospectives throughout Europe and the United States, including Grand Central Station, New York in 1994; Cuartel del Conde Duque, Madrid also in 1994; Galerie Ernst Hilger, Wien in 1999; and Palazzo della Triennale, Milan in 2004. In 1964, Rotella represented Italy in the Venice Biennale.



Germano Celant is an art historian and Senior Curator for contemporary art at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum of New York. He is contributing editor to ArtForum and Interview. He is internationally acclaimed for his work on “Arte Povera.” His recent publications include Architecture & Arts 1900/2004 (Skira 2005) and Manzoni Catalogo delle Opere (Skira 2004).

Mimmo Rotella: Verbale N.2847Mimmo Rotella: Verbale N.2847

Text by Tiziano Scarpo

Published by Charta/Italian Factory.
Edited by Lorenzo Pavolini and Alessandro Riva. Text by Tiziano Scarpa.

Still vital and experimental in his late eighties, Mimmo Rotella, the Nouveau Réaliste legend who pioneered the art of effacage, in which he partially cancels images from popular magazines, here collects 30 of those works, many of them published for the first time. Satirical texts by hip Italian novelist Tiziano Scarpa, some 40 years his junior, confirm the continued relevance of Rotella's work.

RotellaRotella

Published by Charta.

Born in Cantanzaro in 1918, Mimmo Rotella revolutionized Italian art in the postwar period, with his ruptures of found urban materials such as advertising posters, an activity that eventually gained the name “affichism,” and which allied him with the Nouveaux Réalistes in France (Arman, Christo, François Dufrêne, Yves Klein, Niki de Saint Phalle, Daniel Spoerri and Jean Tinguely). These early compositions were primarily abstract, but in the early 1960s he began to feature images of movie stars and consumer goods, developing a more overt critique. Simultaneously, Rotella developed a form of sound poetry that he called “epistaltic” poetry. This essential volume is one of the few catalogues to document all the different phases of Mimmo Rotella's career, from the décollages of the 1950s to the large compositions he created from the 1960s through the 1980s.
