At last, the time has come. We’ve tuned all our instruments and are ready to take the stage, the Ouverture is about to commence: Issue Zero of FMR, the art magazine that cast its spell over the whole world and that remains unequalled, is back with this “special issue”.
From the spectacular paintings by the Canadian artist Alex Colville, truly a discovery for Europe, to the Tagasode, mysterious, sensual Japanese folding screens, from the never-before-seen Mexican smiling figures, to the Biblia Pauperum of Varallo, a gem of Renaissance painting that glimmers in a humble mountain church, to the accumulation of arches and voids in the monumental architectures by the Catalan Xaviér Corberó, FMR will take you to a world of emotions, passions, and discoveries.
Moreover, its features discuss Dante, books, travels, and auctions.
