| Giuseppe Uncini
 
 

Giuseppe Uncini was born in Fabriano in 1929, but he lives and works in Rome and Trevi (PG).
He created his first Cementarmato in 1958. In 1962, he was one of the founders of the Gruppo Uno, dissolved in 1967. Still today, Uncini carries out his idea of building cement objects, whose surfaces carry the imprints of caissons and iron structures delineate space and draw it.

Uncini had a solo room at the Venice Biennial in 1984. In 1999, he exhibited his work in Minimalia. Da Giacomo Balla a… at the PS1 in New York. In 2001, a retrospective was presented at the Stadtische Kunsthalle in Mannheim. Still in 2001, he took part in the exhibition entitled La scultura italiana del XX secolo, cured by Maurizio Calvesi, in five Japanese museums. In 2002, he participated in the collective exhibition entitled Ipotesi di collezione, presented at the MACRO in Rome, cured by Danilo Eccher.

Uncini's relationship with Galleria Fumagalli began in 1995, when Spazicemeneto was exhibited. The catalogue of the exhibition had texts by Giovanni Maria Accame. In 1996, the gallery published the monograph Giuseppe Uncini, with texts by Giovanni Maria Accame, for De Agostini editions. In 1999, a new volume with texts by Annamaria Maggi and Marco Meneguzzo was presented on the occasion of an exhibition at the Centro Arti Visive ex Peschiera in Pesaro. In 2000, the monograph of the exhibition at Palazzo Fabroni of Pistoia was published, cured by Bruno Corà. In 2001, on the occasion of an exhibition at the Stadtische Kunsthalle di Mannheim and in cooperation with Gallerie Christian Stein and Giò Marconi of Milan, he cured a volume with texts by Manfred Fath, Volker Feirabend and Marco Meneguzzo. In 2002, he presented a jewelry exhibition introduced by Ada Masoero. Galleria Fumagalli is now working on the first volume of Giuseppe Uncini's Reasoned Catalogue.
