The work of Vito Acconci is among the most influential of the last 30 years. His adventures in performance, audio and video, sculpture, writing and architecture, from the late 1960s through the present have provided countless milestone works for younger artists. The overriding concerns throughout his work have been self-analysis and interpersonal relationships, themes he has explored in many different ways. This monograph will be the most complete publication available on this vital American artist, and will include both extensive visual documentation from throughout his career and a wide selection of his writings.

Gallerist and art writer Mario Diacono (born 1930) has been among postwar painting’s liveliest advocates, espousing, exhibiting and writing about the work of Alex Katz, Julian Schnabel, Francesco Clemente, Mimmo Paladino, Sigmar Polke, Georg Baselitz and hundreds of others, through his eponymous galleries in Bologna, Rome, Boston and New York. This enormous compendium gathers Diacono’s essays written for exhibitions held in the Mario Diacono Gallery between 1994 and 2007, complementing Iconography and Archetypes as a critical survey of American and European painting at the turn of the millennium. As the title implies, a preoccupation throughout these writings is the creative tension between historical determinacy and recurrent motif (archetype). Among the artists discussed are Matthew Ritchie, Jacqueline Humphries, Doug and Mike Starn, Kevin Zucker, Daniel Rich, James Siena, Dana Schutz and Kelley Walker.

Parallel Universe is a body of work which Jules de Balincourt has realized specifically for Collezione Maramotti. The five new paintings presented in the exhibition have never been shown before, and now become part of the Collection. As is often the case with de Balincourt, the paintings were all worked on at the same time, in the same studio, allowing them to gradually come into dialogue with one another as a direct result of his studio practice. The artist’s approach to his work is largely intuitive: preferring that the paintings evolve organically as he goes back and forth between them, and they take shape individually and as an ensemble. The paintings in Parallel Universe can thus be seen as forming a kind of loosely interlocked map, one that explores and charts the relationships between representation and abstraction, and the act of painting. The image of the map in the artist’s previous work has been frequently discussed in terms of its political and cartographic dimensions. But Big Globe Painting and Globe Faces – the map-based works presented here – de Balincourt frees himself from any obligation to accurately represent the world in terms of continents, countries, and borders. Attempting instead to render a more universal sense of time and space, the artist reminds us that we also inhabit inner worlds, and he arrives at a representation that is truer to life than mere geography. These images, which verge on the abstract, as much of his recent work does, are symbolic rather than diagrammatic, and can thus be seen as representing a need for liberation, not only as de Balincourt moves increasingly from figuration towards the abstract, but also in terms of freedom from the modes of rational and objective thought. Waiting Tree is an unmistakable emblem of the ways in which process is central to de Balincourt’s work, of his way of proceeding without any pre-established plan...
