~ Melanie Gerlis, Art Market columnist, commenta sul Financial Times del 16 Maggio la partecipazione di Mazzoleni ad Art Basel Unlimited con l’opera capitale di Salvo “Il trionfo di San Giorgio”:
The market is going crazy for work by the Italian Modernist Salvatore Mangione (1947-2015), known as Salvo.
“Next month, Mazzoleni will bring a significant Salvo to Art Basel’s Unlimited section, his 7.6-metre wide pastel “‘Il trionfo di San Giorgio (da Carpaccio)” (1974, $3mn). The work, showing the Christian hero defeating the dragon, was included in the 1976 Venice Biennale and comes to Basel from the collection of the gallery’s co-founder, Giovanni Mazzoleni, who knew the artist well, says director Jose Graci. The work will be included in an extensive Salvo exhibition at the Pinacoteca Agnelli in Turin, which opens on November 1, he confirms.”
