Senza data (Undated), an exhibition at the Stefano Bardini
Museum in Florence, presents a series of works by Italian artist Luca
Pignatelli painted on railway tarpaulins, wood, paper, sheet metal, and
Persian carpets from the early 20th century. The painted carpets stand
out immediately for their size and their link with the vast collection
of carpets in the museum. Luca Pignatelli studied architectural
composition during the period influenced by the theories of Aldo Rossi
and the idea of the sedimentary growth of history. He is an artist able
to accept the challenge of large-scale paintings, working with unusual
supports on which he overlays his own selection of images, icons of
collective memory like trains, planes, machines, and relics of classical
culture. This catalogue includes an interview with the artist and an
essay by director of the Museo Novecento in Florence.
