| Kino & Comics. Comic-Helden im Film Salzburg, Karlsruhe 2007-2008 In collaboration with the Museum der Moderne, Salzburg, and the Städtische Galerie, Karlsruhe Curated by Roberto Festi. Catalogue by esaExpoedizioni Following on from its successful tour of four Italian cities in 2006-7 (Rovereto, Carpi, Pordenone and Vicenza), the exhibition “Cinema & Cartoons: Comic characters on the big screen” has continued to receive rave reviews from critics and audiences alike elsewhere in Europe. A new version of the show, with fresh additional material, put the fruits of over two years of research before a wider international audience, at the Museum der Moderne in Salzburg (Austria) and subsequently at the Städtische Galerie in Karlsruhe, Germany, with more than four hundred original works on display. The exhibition unfolded chronologically, from the early twentieth century until the present day, covering the most significant American and European output of comics which found new expression in the medium of cinema. 34 iconic characters (from Arcibaldo and Petronilla to Tintin, from Flash Gordon to Dick Tracy, Batman to Superman, Barbarella to Lucky Luke, Tex Willer to Spider-Man, and Valentina to Sin City) were documented, through valuable rare original materials including posters, cinema playbills, costumes, period publications, and original plates and strips by many of the foremost writers in the history of comics. Taken across the six venues where it was put on, the exhibition reached, and surpassed, the enviable figure of 100,000 visitors. |
