Solo
1999
Solo, ciclo espositivo presso il Museo Novecento di Firenze, da cui emergono brevi ritratti di grandi maestri del secolo scorso. Dopo Emilio Vedova, il successivo appuntamento è dedicato a Piero Manzoni (1933-1963), la cui apparizione nel cielo dell'arte è stata tanto breve quanto luminosa, di un'intensità che continua a crescere dopo l' improvvisa morte a Milano, nel suo studio di via Fiori Chiari. II curatore di mostra e catalogo, Gaspare Luigi Marcone, si è concentrato sugli "oggetti" - o meglio i "concetti-oggetti" - che l'artista produce dal 1959 al 1962. Con particolare riguardo per le "Linee", che Lucio Fontana, intervistato alla radio l'8 febbraio 1963, ebbe a definire un'innovazione artistica di portata internazionale. Non mancano gli "Achromes" (realizzati fin dal 1957, ma così intitolati solo nella primavera del 1959, in occasione della mostra al bar La Parete di Milano), su cui si è concentrato in questi decenni l'interesse dei collezionisti.

Beware the Court of Owls, that watches all the time Ruling Gotham from a shadowed perch, behind granite and lime They watch you at your hearth, they watch you in your bed Speak not a whispered word about them, or they'll send the Talon for your head. --a nursery rhyme The Court of Owls is a criminal secret society that has existed in Gotham City since the 1600s, led by some of the city's wealthiest and most influential families. They employ deadly trained assassins known as Talons, taken as children from circuses such as the one where Dick Grayson's parents were killed. These children are trained to become the assassins known as Talons. Bruce Wayne came to the Court's attention when he announced plans to reinvigorate Gotham, threatening their control. They sentenced him to death, bringing themselves to the attention of Batman. Though they suffer defeats, the Court continues to fight to retake control of the city's underworld - a fight that has gone on for centuries. Copyright © 2017 DC Comics.
