Overview

Catalogue of the exhibition dedicated to Fortunato Depero, protagonist of Futurism, at Palazzo Medici Riccardi in Florence between September 2023 and January 2024, the first in a Florentine public museum. Text in English and Italian.

This volume is the catalog of the exhibition Depero. Fantastical Ride, held in the historic rooms of the Museum of Palazzo Medici Riccardi.

Curated by Sergio Risaliti with Eva Francioli, the catalog presents the work of Fortunato Depero, a multifaceted artist who was able to combine the popular element with a fervid figurative imagination. Starting with Neighing at Speed, a typically Futurist painting by Depero, the catalog focuses on some of the most fascinating themes of Depero's production – from the myth of progress and speed, to the small theaters populated by ultra-modern puppets, to the rich production of tapestries, clothing – narrated through works from private collections and from the MART in Trento and Rovereto. It also includes a number of works that Depero made during a stay in New York in 1930.

Text in English and German.
