di Arnaldo Pomodoro

Since its establishment, the Foundation has been taking care of the Arnaldo Pomodoro Archive, guaranteeing access and consultation to professionals and scholars, and drawing daily on its materials to build and enrich its cultural offerings: from exhibitions to publications, to the various educational activities, up to the publication of the Catalogo ragionato della scultura (ed. Skira, 2007) and the Catalogue Raisonné online
The Online Archive is the web portal with which the Foundation makes available to the community – from the researcher to the simple amateur – the materials preserved in the Archive, a source of information and in-depth study of the artist's life and work, as well as of a section of the artistic and cultural history of the second half of the twentieth century, of which Arnaldo Pomodoro was one of the protagonists.
The Archives is divided into six typological sections: Library, Photographs, Correspondence, Audiovisuals, Paperworks and Various materials.

Established in the early 1950s as a tool for the artist's support and work, the Archive is now a legacy of memories and a living tool for knowledge, constantly checked and updated.

Located between Via Vigevano and Vicolo Lavandai, in Milan – in a space communicating with the Artist's Studio and the Foundation's headquarters – the Archive and its materials are available to students, researchers and professionals, who can access the consultation on site by following the procedure outlined on this page.
