Minute Morandi

October 28, 2008 by Marion Maneker

Giorgio Morandi Scored at Sales in London and New York This Year

Christopher Benfey’s Slate slideshow profiles Morandi and the Metropolitan retrospective: “A mood of hush-hush sanctity surrounds the reputation of the Italian artist Giorgio Morandi, who died in 1964 at the age of 73 after a life of monastic simplicity. Born in 1890 in the medieval university city of Bologna, Italy, Morandi lived nearly his whole life in the modest family apartment he shared with his three unmarried sisters and, until her death in 1950, his mother; his father had died in 1909.”
