| book description |

Curator Marc Donnadieu turns his critical gaze on Tornabuoni Art galleryâ€™s post-war masterpieces and proposes a project based around the notion of creative destruction; a way of making that led to a total renewal of art in the aftermath of the Second World War. The exhibition is articulated around a simple alphabet, where 25 works by 22 Italian and international artists are assembled in a trilingual alphabet, with each letter introducing an artist and a disruptive action to which he or she has subjected the artwork: Enrico Baj â€œattacksâ€ and Alberto Burri â€œburnsâ€, while Arman â€œvandalizesâ€ and Tancredi â€œzigzagsâ€. This list, which is by no means exhaustive, is merely the starting point for an infinite repertoire of iconoclastic artists and verbs. The curator also pays homage to one of Tornabuoni Artâ€™s most beloved artists: Alighiero Boetti, whose apparently playful works allow us to confront deep philosophical issues. Opening 30 years to the day since the artistâ€™s death, An alphabet of order and disorder looks outwards to the world and to a new generation confronted with its uncertainties. Text in English and French.
