{"product_id":"67279-alberto-garutti","title":"Alberto Garutti","description":"The publication offers a comprehensive overview of Alberto Garutti's work, presenting his creations primarily in the fields of sculpture, installation, and public art. The volume, originally conceived by Germano Celant, includes an essay by Antonella Soldaini, a historical-critical timeline edited by Eva Fabbris, a selection of statements by the artist, and a wealth of illustrations and documents that trace Garutti's creative development since the early 1970s. The innovative value of Garutti's practice is based on several key concepts, such as respect for the location where the work stands, a focus on the surrounding social realities, and a deep understanding of the context. These methodological strategies, first applied by Garutti in the early 1990s, have profoundly changed the vocabulary of public and site-specific art. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eALBERTO GARUTTI (1948–2023) was a key figure in the Italian and European contemporary art scene for the last forty years. Since the early 1990s, Garutti developed his practice as a kind of radical manifesto for public art. His works in urban contexts – commissioned by cities and institutions worldwide – are conceived as open devices intended to rethink forms of social engagement. Alberto Garutti, who also taught at the Brera Academy in Milan and the IUAV in Venice, is today considered one of the most influential Italian artists of his generation.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49811904790792,"sku":"9783775757874","price":94.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775757874_12a25bdc-50c7-4b76-bb67-943f780ed126.jpg?v=1744039006","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/67279-alberto-garutti","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
