Featuring work from renowned artists including Lucio Fontana and Maurizio Cattelan, this expansive survey reinterprets Italian art from the postwar era to today. Through the lens of the tragicomic, this catalog illustrates how many Italian artists have used comedy, self-irony and paradox as tools of criticism and as an antidote to tragedy.
