The Fondazione Carla Fendi’s project for the 64th Festival is intended as a tribute to Spoleto and to focus on two great artists, SOL LEWITT and ANNA MAHLER, both of whom chose Spoleto as their place from the late 1960s to the 1990s.
Sol LeWitt, the celebrated minimalist artist, alternated his life between Spoleto and New York from 1970. And so, since 1967, has the sculptor Anna Mahler, daughter of the composer Gustav Mahler and the Viennese muse Alma Schindler, who in those years lived between Spoleto, London and Los Angeles. Immersed in the culture of the city, they created and left traces of their genius in these places.
The same creativity is still carried out, again in Spoleto, by the MAHLER & LEWITT STUDIOS, residences created by the heirs Marina Mahler and Carol LeWitt, which each year host writers and artists of all disciplines from all over the world.
The Fondazione Carla Fendi wants to recount the personalities of the two artists in two films that focus on the atmospheres and on the cultural, historical and aesthetic influences that fuelled their creativity in Spoleto.
