Thrilled and honoured to be included within the prestigious Atlante dell’Arte Contemporanea (Atlas of Contemporary Art) Patron of The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Two inaugural events were planned for May to coincide with the book launch. The first in Florence at the Teatro-Libreria Giunti Odeon and the second at The MET in New York. I consider it a privilege to set foot in this esteemed art institution and to make a contribution to art history. I’m overjoyed!

Let there be Gold: Three Portraits by Adamo Macri.

The essay cites several historical examples of the importance of gold, including its presence in the Inca Empire, Pharaohs’ tombs, religious and secular art. It also refers to modern references such as Fort Knox, gold medals and gold standards. Author Kenneth Radu looks at two golden portraits by artist Adamo Macri, titled The Lure and Cosmopolitan, which symbolize a hunger present in the human body. A third portrait, Latent Corpus Callosum Discernment, is compared to the previous two, emphasizing complexity and collective meaning. The text draws attention to Macri’s ability to convey meaning both in what he portrays and in what he omits. Macri is seen as someone who embraces multiple identities and acknowledges the depth and intricacy of the human heart and mind.
