 The “Iron Poet”,  Richard Serra 
(November 2, 1938 – March 26, 2024)
Renowned sculptor Richard Serra, known for his monumental steel structures that reshaped the landscape of contemporary art, passed away at the age of 85 at his residence in Orient, N.Y.
His groundbreaking works, characterized by massive tilting corridors and spirals of steel, offered viewers a unique experience, inviting them to navigate through and around the imposing forms to fully comprehend their essence.
Because of this invitation to explore space, materiality, and site, the artist has been long-recognized in the architectural community, earning him the Architectural League of New York President’s Medal in 2014, becoming the first artist to receive the honor.

Alighiero Boetti, "Tutto" 1990,
Embroidery on Linen, 86 1/2 x 170 1/4 in. (219.7 x 432.4 cm.)
In the spring of 1971, while in search of “something distant”, Alighiero Boetti discovered Afghanistan. This was the beginning of a relationship that tied the man and his work to the Afghan people for 23 years until the artist’s death in 1994.
Boetti maintained these links during the period of exile following the Soviet invasion of 1979, even welcoming some of his assistants into his own family in Italy.
Afghanistan is the scene of the production of many of Alighiero Boetti’s best-known works, including the Mappe (1971-1994), made by female Afghan embroiderers.
His artistic intentions, his experience of the country and his intellectual curiosity give rise to works that act as cultural and geopolitical seismographs.
His work bears witness to the socio-political transformations that affected the Middle East in the 1970s and 1980s, seeing, for example, the embroiderers flee to Peshawar in Pakistan, where some of the last embroideries were produced.
