Cavellini . There are 73 works by as many important international authors who

Guglielmo Achille Cavellini to completion of the
Centenary (1914-2014) had expressed a desire to implement some sort of
posthumous celebration as the completion of one of his major artistic work
focused sull'Autostoricizzazione . " For this important occasion were
invited 75 international artists from different nationalities to share this
special event. For several decades GAC in Italy was opposed as a "rich
eccentric streak of exhibitionism ," including not only because it was
considered a major collector of contemporary art and accordingly placed by the
official critics in complete isolation. Since 1970 , he first tried to "
undermine " the official art system and to make their voices heard by
implementing appropriate "noise " in the system offering its presence
as a genuine creative moment . Art, after being relegated for a long time
indoors ideas , with the autostoricizzazione " 1971 GAC became liberation
, opening of borders cultural art that was integrated in life. In addition ,
sharing and embracing at the same time more search fields transverse and
alternative proposals of the official culture , painting, visual poetry , the
art of behavior to Body Art was positioned themselves on the edge of a system,
in a free zone, in a suburb border practicable , dismantling in one fell swoop
a traditional practice that he preferred the repetitive production of the
artist clearly identifiable at the complete service of the art market . Thus, a
practice that was less than the market and its strict rules imposed by a "
hidden and arrogant" that actually holds hostage the artist and thus
represses the production of art and creativity. Artist somewhat difficult to
classify the different practices used for , but definitely the protagonist
overcoming cross a traditional logic Today, after a few decades of waiting and
reflection Guglielmo Achille Cavellini is a brilliant and multi-faceted
character . He lived contemporary art after World War II until 1990, the year
of his death, as maverick , said: " I prefer to live my adventure into
the future , rather than having to get bogged down in the tangled jungle of
art" by artist not conditioned by schemes and taxation. It's not been a
matter of simple elegance and pure style but a glossy illuminated operation
that highlighted and brought to light the problems and contradictions of a
cultural system that leaves nothing to chance and that is almost always the
work and the ' artist as a mere commodity.
