Here's the video link to Marina Ripa di Meana's PISSY ART MASTERPIECE!
We here in Spoleto are still running around in the excitement for the creation of such a masterpiece!
I invited Pier Luigi over to help clarify precise details of this escalating conflict.
At Sgarbi's opening Spoleto ceremony June 25th, Marina Ripa di Meana calmly and tranquil like walked over to Sgarbi being interviewed. She opened up a wide mouth jar and poured about 8 ounces of yellow liquid down Sgarbi's dress shirt, drenching his front left side. She in the meanwhile is heard repeating "The Artist's Piss, that's what old farts make, Artist's Piss" over and over again calmly and very matter of fact.
Sgarbi as seen in the video was at first stunned thinking it might be a humorous stunt which could be funny but quickly realized he was being insulted.
Marina Ripa di Meana's joke was a referral to Italian artist Piero Manzoni's art work labeled: Artist's Shit in a can from 1961.
Sgarbi begins to panic thinking it may actually be someones urine. At this moment whether it really was urine or not has not be confirmed, though the Italians NO DOUBT that is was in fact urine, knowing Marina style. I am suspect as it was too yellow.
Sgarbi begins his standard tirade but actually is under more control than normal, but shortly escalates to his infamous repertoire of vulgar name not limited to "whore, slut, imbecile, idiot, take it in the ass and a few more action verbs" with direct translation from Italian. Marina proceeds to hang around just a bit to exchange some verbal name warfare and then the video ends...
Marina's underlying issue was when Sgarbi wanted to hang 4 photos at the Venice Biennial 2011 that included her husband and another high profile person. Sgarbi upon seeing the final choices hung, which one included Marina in the photo too, Sgarbi ordered one of his worker bears (no joke intended with this link) to remove it saying, "do not give any more space to these old farts." Sgarbi in defiance left the wall spot blank as an insult to Marina for weeks on end during the Venice Biennial. Marina asked him politely to reconsider his position several times and he refused her request. This obviously infuriated Marina to implement revenge.
Italians either love him or hate him... ITALY's infamous art critic Vittorio Sgarbi. Personally I make no calms about it, I fall on the latter side... I believe in the ANTI SGARBAGE Task Force trying to clean up Italy's tarnished image.
An inside source who says "Sgarbi is stressed these days with money problems, too many winning lawsuits against him and too many bills to pay"... Poor, poor baby, I really feel for him.... NOT!
From what I have read, Sgarbi has been found guilty of plagiarizing literary writings by the chapter full into his own book, guilty of uncountable defamation of character suits, being a mayor of a Sicilian city full of Mafia and vulgar violent language rage attacks with arm flailing.
This behavior in the USA is treated with hard core medications and some time put away where you sport a white coat with arms wrapped from behind for your own safety. For some unknown reason, this type of bad, very bad behavior is rewarded in Italy. You get paid TV interviews comanding higher pirces and honorary fake title to feel important, i.e. the Venice biennial curator and presenter position, when you are know to hate all art starting from Modern art and later.
The children's card game we know as "Go fish" in America becomes the real political game of "go figure" in Italy.
These rages displayed by Sgarbi are so numerous that the anti-sgarbaging task forces have complied videos episodes available for your enjoyment on YouTube called SGARBI'S GREATEST HITS I and GREATEST HITS II.
I promise to keep you all abreast of this once the clarity is out on this issue. In the meanwhile, I rate Marina Ripa di Meana's Pissy Art a REAL Masterpiece! How about you?
