Alberto <strong>Burri</strong> nelle sale del<br />

museo di Capodimonte<br />

durante l’allestimento di una<br />

sua mostra, Napoli, 1978<br />

This and facing page,<br />

Alberto <strong>Burri</strong> at the Museo<br />

di Capodimonte during<br />

the mounting of one of his<br />

exhibitions. Naples, 1978<br />

ent it again in this exhibition at Sapone’s.<br />

I’m very happy to have been the only person<br />

to photograph the Combustion!<br />

CS: I have to correct you: before you, in the sixties,<br />

Ugo Mulas had photographed <strong>Burri</strong> working<br />

on another combustion.<br />

AA: It’s true, but without wishing to detract<br />

in any way from one of the photographers I<br />

admire most, I have to say that his pictures<br />

in black and white don’t convey the power<br />

of the torch like my ones in color!<br />

All the way though the work I felt intense<br />

Capodimonte per documentare tutta l’esposizione,<br />

naturalmente c’era anche Nemo e<br />

fra gli artisti ricordo Melotti [Fausto] e Portoghesi<br />

[Paolo].<br />

CS: <strong>Burri</strong> si dilettava di fotografia ed era appassionato<br />

di tutte le novità che uscivano in fatto<br />

di apparecchi fotografici: mi regalò la prima<br />

Nikomat elettronica, l’aveva acquistata negli<br />

Stati Uniti, in Italia non era ancora in vendita.<br />
