This catalog was
published in conjunction with a retrospective-style exhibition on display at
Die Galerie, Frankfurt from 6 June to 31 August, 2013. Curated Maren Kirchhoff M.A., the exhibition featured over 60 pieces spanning a 70-year period, including the piece shown below.
From the gallery
press release (which I also translated): "Multi-talented
artists have remained a rarity throughout history, but the Italian Dario Fo
(born 1926) is definitely one: as a playwright, set designer, Nobel Prize
laureate for literature, instructor and lecturer, painter, actor, satirist and
critic he describes and paints the eventful history of his homeland. And he has done so since the 1940s, when as a
student at the Academy of Fine Arts of
Brera he began to sketch the world around him — continuously, resolutely,
ceaselessly."
