Publication Announcement: From Depero to Rotella

Today we celebrate the publication of the catalogue From Depero to Rotella: Italian Commercial Posters Between Advertising and Art (New York and Arezzo: Center for Italian Modern Art and Magonza, 2023). Published in conjunction with CIMA’s exhibition of the same name, this elegant book includes an introduction by the exhibition’s curator Nicola Lucchi; images of the works exhibited (including seven from our collection); and biographies of the artists by current CIMA Research Fellows Giorgio Di Domenico and Marcella Martin.  For those of you who missed the exhibition, which closed on June 10, the catalogue also provides shots of the stunning installation.
