Description
"
Carried
out
partly
to
confront
the
economic
interests
on
which
galleries
are
based
, this
installation
took
place
over
a
three-day
period
. The
artist
chose
horses
of
various
breeds
and
colors
,
associating
them
symbolically
with
energy
and
power
. At the
same
time
he
set
up
ironic
art-historical
associations
with
equestrian
statues
or the
horses
in the
allegorical
and
mythological
paintings
of the
Italian
Renaissance.

; "This
artist's
desire
to
transform
the
material
conditions
of
art
would
produce
spectacular
gestures
such
as the
temporary
housing
of
12
live
horses
at the
Galleria
L'Attico
in
Rome
in
1969
