Every ten years a great man…


Ten or thirteen works to define a century? This is the question I thought it was most urgent to give an answer to. I decided to choose prime numbers and a kind of number mysticism, which could help in this game of the best.

I assembled my selection requesting that each work be represented with a postcard, coupled to another postcard. I also wanted that these pair of images on "tema celeste" be reproduced by Xerox copies, so that the image would be flattened. This choice allows me to define the artists by analogy with a specific place. This procedure contradicts the ordinary opinion, points out a few names but, in so doing, also underscores some artistic moments…
