At last I visited the MAXXII, because I wanted to see the exposition of Michelangelo Pistoletto - a great artist, would he be born outside Italy, he will be famous as Damien Hirst or Jeff Koons, but perhaps he doesn't care. The museum is dedicated to italian art after 1980, and I was impressed by the fact that the fine works here exposed are often very poetic, but they lack the aura that I instead found in a work of the Chapman - one of the two only foreign artists present. What is thus aura? The works of the italian artists were more creative, and the fightful figurines of Chapham are somewhat artistically cheap, but probaby they are more relevant, since they tell us something important about the XXth century. And since their quotation are much higher, so that they share the aura of power.
