Exhibition catalogue of Mimmo Rotella show at Galerie J, in 1965. The "Vatican IV" series was part of Rotella's exploration of contemporary culture and its icons. The title itself suggests a provocative juxtaposition, blending religious connotations with the avant-garde.
Inside the catalogue is possible to find a reproduction of one of his most emblematic works - "La Benedizione". A notable artwork that features an image of the Pope. This artwork is part of Rotella's series of decollages, where he used torn posters to create new compositions. By incorporating an image of the Pope, the piece reflects Rotella's engagement with contemporary cultural and religious imagery, blending elements of sacred and popular culture.
Mimmo Rotella (1918-2006)
Mimmo Rotella was an influential Italian artist known for his pioneering work in the decollage and pop art movements. He gained fame in the 1950s for his unique technique of tearing posters from city walls and reassembling the fragments into new compositions, which he called "décollage." This method challenged traditional concepts of art by incorporating elements of urban life and popular culture, often reflecting social and political themes. Rotella's vibrant and dynamic works have been exhibited in numerous international galleries and museums, cementing his legacy as a key figure in 20th-century contemporary art.
