News from Mark Mitton

I am in Rome for a few days this week, to attend the opening of the Calder exhibition at the Palazzo delle Esposizioni (coinciding with ‘Alexander Calder - Monumental Sculpture’ at the Gagosian Gallery in Rome), and to participate in a panel discussion tonight with Sandy Rower (Calder’s grandson and the President of the Calder Foundation) and art historian Elizabeth Hutton Turner on ‘Calder and the Art of Perception‘.

Last night I performed at an after-party hosted by Larry Gagosian at the Palazzo Doria Pamphilj, a spectacular Roman palace.

I just did a photo shoot on a rooftop with my Italian photographer friend Sebastiano Tomada Piccolomini. Seba is a traditionalist and prefers to shoot on film, so it’s a surprise to see how his pictures come out.

I love these shots! Mille grazie!
