Description

Daniela Lancioni
It is not permissible to associate the arabesque category with a Wall Drawing by Sol LeWitt, with one of Gianni Colombo's environments, with a site-specific work by Daniel Buren or with a series of photographs by Bernd and Hilla Becher. Yet all of these works, along with many others, are based on the same repetition of similar elements that we find in an ornament. So is it permissible to surmise that the traditional category of ornamentation, imbued with new values, has undergone a metamorphosis in contemporary Western art?
