FMR Artefatto Collection
The enduring sumptuousness of the monumental marble of ancient Rome and the elegant fragility of fans made of silk and lace. The sober graphic design of a trademark by Giulio Confalonieri and the vivid chromatic density of the paintings of Antonio Ligabue. The colourful fantasy of the American costume jewelry during the Great Depression and the soft richness of a select collection of rare carpets. The series Artefatto features large and small masterpieces, anonymous and by famous names, precious or curious, the product of the patient, inspired work of men and women, elevated from a Biblical condemnation to a multiform expression of creativity. Placed in worthy settings in the pages of these books, is a procession of rare or unusual collections, the creations of masters of colour and image, the documentation of a cunning use of artistic and artisanal materials and techniques: extraordinary and unique, to be perused like so many flowers in a composite bouquet. |
