Carrara, Cárdenas and Negritude

A major retrospective exhibition, Carrara, Cárdenas and Negritude, a tribute to the world-famous sculptor Agustin Cárdenas, will be held from July 11 to September 13 in the city of Carrara.
The exhibition features monumental sculptures situated in various parts of the historic center of Carrara and the Cárdenas exhibition, which will be held in the Centro Arti Plastiche di Carrara and in the Galleria Duomo, which will be presenting this artist’s works for the first time: sculptures in marble, wood and bronze, restored plaster models, and works in tempera and drawings.
This remarkable body of the artist’s works is accompanied by substantial documentation that includes two heretofore unpublished photographic portraits of Cárdenas taken by the historic photographer from Carrara, Ilario Bessi, and printed on panels; many articles, catalogues and posters; and a screening of the video of the one-man exhibition that will also be held at the same time in the Aktis Gallery in London.
