Paolo Uccello, Michelangelo, Murakami, Kiefer. Here are the contents of the sixth issue of our paper

There are nine days left until the conclusion of the subscription campaign for our paper-based Finestre Sull’Arte on paper: in fact, there is time until May 15 to subscribe and receive four issues of our quarterly magazine for only 29.90 euros plus shipping. Each issue, 176 color pages bound in elegant paperback, features articles written by established art historians and young talents: for information or to subscribe, you can click on this link.

Issue 6 of the magazine (June-July-August) is devoted to the theme of war (and no, nothing to do with the current pandemic: we don’t like war rhetoric to describe the current situation, and the lineup had been much earlier). However, the health emergency has forced us to make a couple of extraordinary changes: in the next issue, in fact, there will not be the usual agenda of events (unfortunately, the uncertainty about the calendars prompted us to remove it, and for this we are sorry because the agenda is much appreciated), as well as the review of the exhibition will be missing for the first time, since, understandably, the restrictive measures prevented us from moving. We have therefore replaced, for this issue only, the agenda and review with an article from the Grand Tour column and an article from the Works and Artists column. In addition, there will be an additional article for the Wunderkammer column.

Below, here is the table of contents with, in italics, the title of the column(News, about news from the art world; Grand Tour, a journey to discover the most interesting places and museums in Italy, or the works preserved in them; Works and Artists, in-depth itineraries on great artists and their masterpieces; Rendez-vous, a column devoted to collectors and patrons of the past and present; Contemporary Lounge, in-depth looks at contemporary art; Wunderkammer, the iconic objects).
