Publication on the exhibition: The Vatican Apostolic Library Meets Irma Boom

"Born from the encounter between the Dutch artist Irma Boom and the Vatican Library, the exhibition presents in the first section a selection dedicated to the most emblematic achievements of the artist as a bookmaker. To these, the Library responds by setting up a real "Futurist gallery", where, for the first time, posters and some of the most significant books of the most important Italian avant-garde movement of the twentieth century, Futurism, coming from the collection of Don Giuseppe De Luca, are exhibited. Finally, inside the Exhibition Hall, a real dialogue between the artist and the possessed of the Vatican Library takes place: there you can admire, side by side, on one side the books created by the Dutch designer, and by the other, splendid examples of ancient and modern, Greek, Latin and Arabic calligrams, as well as a choice from the production of Bruno Munari, who, starting from the first futurism, has followed a trajectory that comes exactly close to the past and current production of Irma Boom herself."
