For the first time, this volume presents a transcription of four lessons held by Italian art critic and historian Enrico Crispolti (1933–2018) in the early months of 1994 at the Graduate School of Art History, University of Siena. During these encounters, the scholar and critic offered a very personal interpretation of the events that had happened in the art world in the 1970s, both in Italy and abroad, taking a stance far-removed from the current cultural trends and international mainstream. Starting from the subversive legacy of Informel, Crispolti retraces the paths of figuration and suggestes an alternative interpretation, an “other” history of a decade fundamental to the 20th century.
