Luciano Fabro

Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid

curated by João Fernandes

This exhibition will offer a comprehensive approach to Luciano Fabro’s distinctive relationship to sculpture and space. Fabro was a visionary artist who opened up new avenues for sculpture and created new possibilities, combining a prodigious variety of materials and techniques with new forms and addressing classical themes such as the relationship between sculpture and architecture and the tension between the weight, balance and density of the sculpted object.

This is the first retrospective exhibition organised after the artist’s death in 2007 and features over 50 artworks from diverse private collections and international public institutions. Some of his early works made from glass, mirror pieces and fabric provide an in-depth perspective on his output, including a selection of some of his most acclaimed series: the Piedi, Italias and Attaccapanni series. Along with other influential marble pieces such as Nadezda and Il giorno mi pesa sulla note, the exhibition also includes Lo Spirato, one of Fabro’s masterpieces with the least exhibition time to date. One of his most famous Habitat works, Habitat 1962, will give a representative example of the distinct redefinition of architectural space through sculptural intervention.
