In the summer of 2016 Claudio Capotondi is special guest of the MDM Museum in Porto Cervo, the museum opened in 2007 in the Promenade du Port, a short walk from the Porto Vecchio and the Piazzetta. It is not a solo exhibition: for the whole season a selection of his bronze sculptures, accompanied by his catalogues, stands alongside the museum's exhibitions and brings sculpture to a place frequented above all for holidays and leisure.
The relationship between Amalart and Capotondi had begun the year before in Milan, with the exhibition at the Boscolo Hotel during the months of Expo. After Milan, Amalart continues to follow his work and brings it to Porto Cervo, before an international public different from that of the galleries: this is how Amalart works with its artists, accompanying them over time from one stage to the next.
Claudio Capotondi was born in Tarquinia in 1937, lived and worked in Rome and New York and now lives in Pietrasanta, near the Carrara quarries, where he carves his works himself. He has created nineteen public works in Italy, the United States, Japan and Libya, and in 2000 received the Michelangelo Prize from the city of Carrara. In his sculptures the sphere and the block open up, twist and let blades and folds of light emerge from within, in marble as in bronze.
