Description: The catalogue raisonné on Marcello Morandini (Mantova, 1940) represents the most comprehensive and up-to-date publication ever to be produced on his works of art. Edited by Marco Meneguzzo and subdivided into separate yet complementary sections, the catalogue gives a clear and in-depth description of Morandini's art from 1964 to the present day and is the result of the meticulous job carried out by the Marcello Morandini Foundation to catalogue, archive and authenticate his works. Comprising over 500 pages, the volume begins with a review by the editor and an essay by Serge Lemoine, a French historian who has followed Morandini's artistic career from the start. The second section contains a critical anthology of texts written for the artist's numerous exhibitions and which document his artistic research. Over the years, Morandini has explored different kinds of themes and studies on the movement of space (torsion, tension, expansion, superimposition), translating them into the world of geometry by using a bi-dimensional and tri-dimensional language and applying mathematical certainty to developing the work, in accordance with the inescapable conceptual premise whereby everything that surrounds us can be considered 'liveable'.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 529-533).
