Neoavanguardia arte da collezionare: La raccolta di Carlo Palli a Prato

Carlo Palli’s collection in Prato includes over fifteen thousands works and it is accompanied by a rich archive, the core of which is focussed on the movements of the Sixties and the Seventies, including Visual Poetry, Fluxus and the new Object Poetics such as New Realism. He then added a vast repertoire that ranges from Pop Art and the School of Pistoia to Transavantgarde, “Arte Povera”, Viennese Actionism and Graffiti. In 2006, a large group of works was donated to the “Luigi Peggi” Center for Contemporary Art, and a selection of works is on loan to the Contemporary and Modern Art Museum of Trento and Rovereto. The volume describes and studies many of these masterpieces, retracing, thanks to the contribution of Cecilia Barbieri, the life of the collector and the story of his house-museum.
