PRESS RELEASE

In the exhibition spaces of Via Cavour 85 in Arezzo, from December 5 to 16, will be hosted the second part of the group exhibition enjoying much success, entitled, "for the LOVE of… photography, painting and sculpture: two group exhibitions in honor of the 150th birth anniversary of Alfred Stieglitz."
An event curated by Daniele Alfani and presented by Marco Botti, under the artistic direction of Danielle Villicana D’Annibale, with the objective to unite local and international artists and give homage to world famed photographer and gallerist, key person for art of the 1900s who introduced la crème de la crème of European contemporary art in America, being the first to exhibit artists such as Rodin, Picasso, Duchamp and many others.
Delicious refreshments will accompany the inauguration party of Friday, December 5 at 6pm, embellished by the performance Sweet relief by Adele Lo Feudo, assisted for the occasion by Manuela Partenzi and the introductive text by Stefano Maria Baratti.

Among the collateral events of the first exhibit we note, Saturday, December 13, a second “round table” with the participating photographers, painters and sculptors curated by journalist Marco Botti. In the same appointment, Danielle Villicana D’Annibale e Maurizio D’Annibale will celebrate with a second toast to four years of activity in the exhibition space Via Cavour 85 (previously called the Villicana D’Annibale Gallery) and the 68 exhibits organized since December, 2010.
THE IMPORTANCE OF STIEGLITZ
Alfred Stieglitz (1864/1946), born in Hoboken in New Jersey, was the founder of the journal Camera Notes in 1897 and of the journal Camera Works, directed by him from 1903 to 1917. His gallery “291”, located on Fifth Avenue in New York from 1905 to 1917, was a dynamic space that literally changed the history of photography and art in the United States.
The fermentation, the exchanges and the contaminations orchestrated with wisdom and passion by Stieglitz produced an explosion of creativity in the first decades of the 1900s.
In his gallery he exhibited for the first time photography next to paintings and sculptures, dedicating himself to give complete dignity to the new art form. His other great merit was to introduce the American market to the great European avant-guarde such as Rodin, Matisse, Toulouse-Lautrec, Manet, Cézanne, Renoir, Rousseau, Picasso, Brâncusi, Picabia and Duchamp.
He was also noted for his artistic relationship and love for the American painter Georgia O’Keeffe, of whom he photographed more than 350 portraits. Stieglitz was an incredible promoter of his wife, whom he was able to sell at prices much higher than male artists, a novelty at the time.
As the curator Daniele Alfani explains, “Alfred Stieglitz is a fundamental figure, probably the most important in the story of visual arts in America for his roles in photography, discoverer and promoter of artists of various kinds, editor, patron and collector”.
THE EXHIBIT
The idea of the event was born out of a meeting between Aretine photographers and the American photographer Pinque Clark, moderated by journalist Marco Botti at Via Cavour 85 last June. To honor Alfred Stieglitz, for his 150° birth anniversary, thus were conceived the two group exhibitions which include thirty-nine artists, of which twenty-nine are Italian and the rest from other parts of the world.
There will be on exhibit an eclectic and heterogeneous group of works, mixing painting, sculpture and photography, just as the American did a century ago, to stimulate the creativity in the local art scene as well as to promote the cultural exchanges with international artists. The selected include indeed noted personalities of clear fame as well as some emerging talents.
The artists in the first group exhibition (15 Italian and 7 international) are: Neal Barab (USA), Francesco Biagini (Arezzo), Chiara Bigiarini Whitworth (Arezzo), Mària Magdolna Czakò (Ungheria), Giuseppe Di Chiaro (Napoli), Simonetta Fratini (Arezzo), Rino Giannini (Pietrasanta - Lu), Fabiana Laurenzi (Arezzo), Adele Lo Feudo (Cosenza), Gustavo Maestre (Venezuela), Giancarlo Montuschi (Faenza - Ra), Leonardo Passeri (Assisi – Pg), Frank Rekrut (Canada), Paolo Remondini (Massa Lombarda - Ra), Alessandro Sala (Genova), Lucrezia Senserini (Arezzo), Joy Stafford Boncompagni (Inghilterra), Riccardo Terziani (Arezzo), Laura Thompson (Canada), Annamaria Veccia (Roma), Danielle Villicana D’Annibale (USA), Filippo Volpi (Città di Castello - Pg).
A list of excellent artists where the international figures that shine out include Neal Barab, Joy Stafford Boncompagni, Gustavo Maestre, Frank Rekrut and Laura Thompson, without forgetting noted Italian artists such as Giancarlo Montuschi and Rino Giannini.
