I sei anni di Marcello Rumma. 1965-1970

A thoroughly documented and in-depth investigation into the figure and work of Marcello Rumma between 1965 and 1970—a period marked by a radical rethinking of artistic languages, within the broader context of cultural and political critique in Western societies. Closely intertwined with the wide-ranging activities undertaken by Rumma—including the promotion of contemporary art, critical reflection, private patronage, institutional engagement, and editorial practice—scholars from diverse disciplinary and geographical backgrounds alternate between focused analyses and contextual reconstructions, offering an original mosaic of the six years that shaped Rumma’s intellectual and existential trajectory. More broadly, the volume proposes a new periodization of this pivotal chapter in contemporary history and art history. The first comprehensive and rigorous critical reconstruction of a cultural undertaking and civic commitment that profoundly influenced the transformation of artistic languages in the final decades of the twentieth century.
