POMODORO & SOTTSASS. Une amitié vue par Ugo Mulas / A friendship seen by Ugo Mulas
€22.00
VAT included
Ugo Mulas met Arnaldo Pomodoro in the late 1950s, and a friendship and mutual understanding immediately developed between the two, destined to last a lifetime. Pomodoro, as Mulas always said, was the artist he had photographed most often.
In 1962, Olivetti commissioned Mulas to produce a photo essay on women in the factory, where he met Ettore Sottsass, the company’s leading designer.
The relationship between Ugo Mulas, Ettore Sottsass and Arnaldo Pomodoro is a prime example of the profound interplay, within post-war Italian culture, between photography, art and design.
This book accompanies the exhibition at the Tornabuoni Art Gallery in Paris (20 October 2026 – 9 January 2027) which, through the lens of Ugo Mulas and by comparing the works of Arnaldo Pomodoro and Ettore Sottsass, explores the connection between three figures who revolutionised the Milan art scene from the 1950s to the 1980s.
