Il Ritorno Dei Re (1980)
AP207.S2.SS01
Description:
The sub-series documents the exhibition "Il Ritorno Dei Re" designed by Pettena and presented at the Refettorio di Santa Maria Novella, in Florence in 1980. The exhibition presented the heads of the Carolingian kings statues, originally part of the facade of Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral, that were removed after the French Revolution and later replaced by new sculptures by Viollet-le-Duc. The statues heads, rediscovered during excavation work in Paris, then toured museums in Europe and in the United States, including in Florence. Pettena's design managed "to evoke, through a cunning use of light, the “presence” of the kings, as the heads stood out as the only illuminated elements in a setting that, precisely because of its imposing character, was kept in semidarkness." [1] The sub-series contains Pettena's draft exhibition proposal, with plans, concept development notes, research and a section of the Refettorio di Santa Maria Novella showing the exhibition space.
