Alighiero Boetti made somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 Mappe (maps) throughout his career over more than 20 years of global historical
and geopolitical change. Tornabuoni’s stand at Art Basel this year will bring together all eight different types of Mappe that Boetti created, from his first, in 1968, to the last, made in 1994, the year of his death:

Tornabuoni Art’s Boetti Map Project gathers together all the different types of Mappa that Boetti made throughout his career, from the 1970s – 90s. This is the first time this has ever been done at an art fair or by a dealer. The only other time something like this was done was at the Tate/MoMA Boetti retrospective in 2015-16.

Tornabuoni Art’s Boetti Map Project is an unprecedented stand – they are gathering together all the different types of Mappa that Boetti made throughout his career, from the 1970s – 90s, the first time this has ever been done at an art fair or by a dealer – the only other time something like this was done was at the Tate/MoMA Boetti retrospective in 2015-16. Beyond being striking works of art, Boetti’s Mappe also chronicle an evolving geopolitical panorama, showing the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the fall fo the USSR, the end of Apartheid.

Di Donna Galleries has released its packing list for Art Basel, Switzerland taking place June 13–16, which includes a selection of paintings, sculptures, and works on paper by 20th-century masters:

• Constellation with Bottles (1943), a rare example from Alexander Calder’s “Constellation” group of small wood sculptures made during World War II when metal was scarce, which displays his ties to Surrealist biomorphism.
• An oversized gilt apple by Claude Lalanne, Pomme de Londres (2007; cast 2013).
• A drawing by Salvador Dalí of Leda Atomica (1947), an interpretation of a classical theme in the age of modern warfare that the artist made in preparation for a famous oil painting now at the Dalí Museum in Figueres, Spain.
• Tom Wesselmann’s Seascape #2 (1965), a painting celebrating the female body.
• Femme à la rose (1936), a painting by Paul Delvaux that renders a dreamlike scene that implies a mysterious narrative within an ambiguous spatial environment.
