On the occasion of Art Basel Paris and the 100th anniversary of the Manifesto of Surrealism published in 1924, Maggiore g.a.m. is glad to take part in the Public Program with a large installation of 7 bronze sculptures by Roberto Sebastian Matta (Santiago de Chile 1911 - Civitavecchia 2002) in the Garden of Palais Royal. Realized in the 1990s they will lead the public into a timeless space inhabited by archaic idols, contemporary tribal totems that seem emerging from ancient and mythological civilizations in an imaginary world. In these contemporary totems Matta combined different identities and legacies starting from Inca, Aztec and Maya traditions, linked to his Latin American roots, to the indigenous American culture, till the Mediterranean and Etruscan heritage experienced while living in Italy.
