The exhibition, promoted by\u00a0 Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Pistoia e Pescia <\/strong>and curated by Bruno Cor\u00e0<\/strong> has been inaugurated on 9th<\/sup> May and is open until 26th<\/sup> July. Situated in Palazzo Sozzifanti, it presents works from Gori\u2019s Collection<\/a>, Fondazione Palazzo Albizzini Collezione Burri of Citt\u00e0 di Castello and Aurelio Amendola\u2019s photographs.<\/p>\n

Pistoia celebrated the centenary of the great Umbrian artist ,Alberto Burri, by holding an exhibition\u00a0 \u201cBurri e Pistoia. La Collezione Gori e le fotografie di Amendola\u201d<\/b>. Numerous countries, in particular the United States along with Pistoia wanted to honour the artist\u2019s talent. As Bruno Cora’ says \u201che demolished and reconfigured Western painting” .
\nThe inextricable link established between Burri and Pistoia, is proven by the great friendship with the art collector Giuliano Gori and long professional partnership with the photographer Aurelio Amendola.
\nThe exhibition primarily focuses on some significant works from Gori\u2019s collection, belonging to the fifties as well as a series of Amendola\u2019s photographs which made Burri famous worldwide thanks to his “Combustion” shots, made in Morra\u2019s studio in 1976.
\nThe exhibition presents the important historically valuable work Sacco, 1952<\/i>, given by the Fondazione Palazzo Albizzini Burri Collection of Citta di Castello. I Sacchi<\/i> are an important part of Burri and Italy\u2019s history after the Second World War, as they represent the Italian response to the language of Informal art.
\nThe relationship with Pistoia is also expressed by Grande Ferro Celle<\/i>, a specially designed sculpture made by the artist in 1986, placed along the road that joins Montale to Pistoia in the space that accesses Fattoria di Celle in Santomato, which is Gori Collections\u2019 home.<\/p>\n

As Gori declared – “It is part of the series of sculptures that Burri used to achieve during extraordinary events such as the Biennale di Venezia or Kassel.” Perfectly inserted in the surrounding environment, the sculpture gives rise to different perspectives and points of observation of the landscape through the intersection of metal warheads. The installation is designed by architect Tiziano Sarteanesi, Burri\u2019s historical curator.<\/p>\n
