N. 4 (2014): Gli anni di piombo

CFP edited by Colin Lang and Elizabeth Mangini

Issue edited by Elizabeth Mangini

The issue explores the complex 1970s decade.  Bracketed on one side by the revolutionary impulses and pluralist art practices of the late 1960s, and on the other by a conservative return to order and the retrenchment of authoritative painting in the 1980s, the 1970s is an era without a clear identity. In art, this same period witnessed the dissolution of collective artistic attitudes like Arte Povera and Fluxus into the disparate orbits of individual careers.
