Full-Scale Last Judgment |
In 1980
Pistoletto spent an extended period in Pescara. In September, at Galleria
Lucrezia De Domizio, he and his family put together an exhibition
preceded by an action (in which the dealer and her husband, the photographer
Bubi Durini, also participated) entitled The Family – The
Table of Judgment. On that occasion he wrote the essay, Full-Scale
Last Judgment.
“Art, science, and religion were all one thing for Michelangelo Buonarroti when he painted the Last Judgment and designed the dome of St. Peter’s. But his Last Judgment was contained on the small space of the wall of a chapel and the dome of St. Peter’s was the highest achievement of human intelligence in its time. Today the dome that represents the highest level of human intelligence stretches out into space among the stars, hence the Last Judgment of art must now exist in the dimension of reality” (Michelangelo Pistoletto, Il giudizio universale a dimensione reale, Galleria Lucrezia De Domizio, Pescara 1980). |
