Description: Pavona: Iacobelli, 2014. 23cm., pbk., 324pp. illus. Exhibition held at Palazzo delle Esposizioni, Roma. Italian text. Summary: Almost two hundred exhibits by one hundred Italian and international artists serve to explore the art of a decade and of a city in a lively tangle of varied artistic trends and approaches. Rome in the 1970s was a crucible of experimental art, a city that welcomed with open arms all the different visual cultures that ended up forging a unique identity while continuing to reflect what was going on in the outside world. With this exhibition, the Palazzo delle Esposizioni is continuing to pursue the exploratory journey it began back in the 1990s with a series of events devoted to Rome between the end of World War II and the 1970s, offering visitors an exhibition that also aims to act as a litmus test for an earlier phase of study and research. The 1970s are seen by historians with increasing clarity to have marked a watershed: many of the changes that either began or came up to speed in that era are very much in the forefront of the news today, making it more interesting than ever to explore and to question them. The 1970s was a controversial decade that is generally identified with conflict and clash, but today we may interpret it as an extremely fertile and constructive era. In the visual arts, particularly in Rome, the 1970s were marked by a plurality of approaches to art which this exhibition sets out to illustrate by balancing historical investigation with interpretation.
