Italian sculptor Giacomo Rizzo will donate one of his works, Atlas, to the Italian Cultural Institute of Lima during a ceremony to be held on 31 January in the courtyard of the Institute.
The sculpture, presented by the artist as part of the In the land exhibition, open to the public from 10 October 2022 to 21 January 2023 in different areas of the Institute, is made of iron, wood, plywood and concrete.
The work’s metal component recalls the shape of an hourglass, has a graceful, transparent line and is comparable to the forms of the muses and mannequins of Giorgio de Chirico’s late metaphysical painting period.
