Franco Guerzoni

A decade ago, in Franco Guerzoni?s studio, a series of works entitled Impossibili restauri took shape; the artist continued to show his interest in the theme for at least two years, crossing other phases and passages marked by different titles, such as Epistola and then, more clearly, Museo ideale. The exhibition illustrated in this book has been conceived from such series, bringing Franco Guerzoni back to Milan after a while. It is not a retrospective show, of course ? something Guerzoni invariably avoids ? but rather an acknowledgement of the last achievements in his artistic research, perhaps still not enough explored and certainly less talked about than others. A group of artworks illustrating this period are displayed at the Museo del Novecento in dialogue with some of his initial pieces, with the aim of investigating how some ideas and concepts from the origins are, in many respects, still in action.00Exhibition: Museo del Novecento, Milan, Italy (09.09.2020 - 14.02.2021).
