"Multiplication thats the name of the game" Bobby Darin; 11th November 1960 Just goes to show that when you increase the ratio of any given thing the outcome is not always an increase in quality. Emporio Mariani, a well meaning idea to get the art community of Rome togther fell flat on its back due to the lack of humour inherent in most of the works and the ability of artists today to take everything so fucking seriously,both financially and artistically. Somebody should have sold multiple orgasms and put a smile on everyones face..all the works priced were between 20,000 lire and 100,000 lire . Most of the two dimensional work that sold on the one night had all the signs of a conference of graphic designers on speed.There were finer sculptures on sale outside the Fontana Di Trevi. Intentions are wonderful and Monika and Daniel had organised the show well in a shockingly opulent space but really the artists should have stayed in bed as the public had long pockets and short attention spans.
