HELLO COLOMBO 2
_________________________________________________________________________________________
In one of BureaudeBank pics one prolly recognized the famous Universale chair. This chair was a gift from Joe Colombo to Roberto Crippa. Both artists lived in Milan and studied at the Brera Academy.
They were part of different art groups as Joe Colombo was a member of "Art Nuclear" and Roberto Crippa "Spazialismo," however they knew each other and had mutual friends such as Fontana and Matta. The Vitra Design Museum recently made a complete retrospective of Colombo's retro-futuristic work. Worth checking it again.
