Salvatore Scarpitta ( 1919–2007) is celebrated for his sculptural renderings of objects in motion.
“Italian-American artist Salvatore Scarpitta’s multimedia oeuvre remained on the fringes of most defined movements of his time, despite associations with both Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art. Scarpitta’s work employed a certain brand of Americana combined with an Arte Povera sensibility, resulting in paintings and sculptures that are emotive and overarchingly hopeful.”
