Tea Talks
Fortunato Depero: order, disorder and genius among archives, libraries and collections. History of the Mart collection
Tea Talks
Fortunato Depero would be laughing if he could see us trying to recount the story of his archive, his books and his works. A cynical laugh, no doubt. And he would be right. Our efforts to bring “order” to his legacy are miserably thwarted by the realisation that our rigid classifications are limited and limiting, and fail to convey the man, the artist, the genius. Depero leaves us a legacy of over 3,500 works, books, magazines and his personal archive. By retracing his history and movements, we can deepen our knowledge of the artist and the methods of conservation, management and restitution of the heterogeneous collection donated to the Mart.
