Arnaldo Pomodoro (born 23 June 1926) is an Italian sculptor. He was born in Morciano, Romagna, Italy. He currently lives and works in Milan. His brother, Giò Pomodoro (1930–2002) was also a sculptor. Pomodoro designed a controversial fiberglass crucifix for the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The piece is topped with a fourteen foot in diameter crown of thorns which hovers over the figure of Christ. Some of Pomodoro's "Sphere Within Sphere" (Sfera con Sfera) can be seen in the Vatican Museums, Trinity College, Dublin, the United Nations Headquarters and Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C., (Christian Theological Seminary ) in Indianapolis, the de Young Museum in San Francisco, Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art, American Republic Insurance Company in Des Moines, Iowa, the Columbus Museum of Art in Columbus, Ohio, the University of California, Berkeley and the Tel Aviv University, Israel. In Copenhagen, Denmark, he has created sculptory for the Amaliehaven park which was inaugurated on the waterfront in front of Amalienborg Palace in 1983. His thematic work "Forme del Mito" (Forms of Myth) () was displayed at Brisbane's World Expo '88 and was later purchased by Brisbane City Council for the City of Brisbane. Museum of Outdoor Arts also has a piece by Pomodoro in their collection entitled "Disco Emergente" which is on permanent public display in Greenwood Village, CO USA. In 1999 he founded Fondazione Arnaldo Pomodoro in Milan. Originally conceived as a centre to document and archive the work of the artist, it opened an exhibition space in 2005, hosting exhibitions of prominent artists such as Jannis Kounellis, Lucio Fontana and Robert Rauschenberg. The director of Fondazione Arnaldo Pomodoro is Flaminio Gualdoni. ==Set design for theatre and opera== * ''Semiramide'' by Gioacchino Rossini (1982), Teatro dell'Opera of Rome * ''Orestea di Gibellina'' by Emilio Isgrò, on a text by Eschilo (1983–1985) * ''Didone'' by Christopher Marlowe (1986) * ''Alceste'' by Christoph Willibald Gluck (1987), Teatro dell'Opera of Genoa – stage and costumes * ''Oedipus rex'' by Igor Stravinsky (1988), Siena * ''La Passione di Cleopatra'' by Ahmad Shawqi, an Egyptian poet (1989) * ''I Paraventi'' by Jean Genet (1990), Teatro Comunale of Bologna – stage and costumes * ''Nella solitudine dei campi di cotone'' by Bernard-Marie Koltès (1992) * ''Più grandiose dimore'' by Eugene O'Neill (1993) * ''Oreste'' di Vittorio Alfieri (1993) * ''Stabat Mater'', ''La passione secondo Giovanni'' and ''Vespro della Beata Vergine'' by Antonio Tarantino (1994–1995) * ''Moonlight'' by Harold Pinter (1995) * ''Drammi Marini'' by Eugene O'Neill (1996) * ''Antigone'' by Jean Anouilh (1996) * ''Tempesta (The Tempest)'' by William Shakespeare (1998) – stage and costumes * ''Un ballo in maschera'' by Giuseppe Verdi (2005), Opernhaus of Lipsia – stage and costumes * ''Teneke'' by Fabio Vacchi (2007), Teatro alla Scala of Milan – stage and costumes 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arnaldo Pomodoro」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
