some time, the environment, it was rumored on the relationship of trust between extreme Maria Lai and Angela Migliavacca Grilletti - former gallery owner, publisher, director of the Foundation of Art in Ulassai station dedicated to the ninety-and merchant-factotum of the same - and the consequences in the long run it would be derived. Why is one thing to rely on anyone involved in the promotion and sales is another bind the entire production strictly to the rules of a person, in this case the trigger, which holds 30 years and operates in complete autonomy everything about Maria Lai. Organizing exhibitions, conferences and exhibitions, selling to galleries and collectors, meet with the proceeds, plus cash in public funding for shows and projects, but - apparently, among other things - not realizing sales.
The negative effects of ill-assorted marriage were almost immediate and have recently exploded as a Pandora's box, so much so that the trigger is under investigation by the prosecutor of Cagliari after Maria Lai complaint that the charge of embezzlement of nearly 2,000 works. But first things first. It all began last November when it comes to your home Grilletti the artist to sign paperwork and white photo for a total of 300 pieces. After having signed a twenty, the artist asks suspicious explanations but is paid by the merchant who seizes meanwhile signed the papers and leave. Hence the immediate withdrawal of all duties, from using the notice and signed the documents requesting the return of all the works in its possession accompanied by a statement of sales. Do not get answers. Meanwhile, Maria Lai seeking to block sales of the galleries that represent - Including the Studio and Gallery Stefania Miscetti Engraving of Brescia - and soon after was aware of some photographs of the works on show in Berlin - the gallery Isabella Bortolozzi until December 18 - ended up in the hands of prospective buyers, certified on back, but without his knowledge.
Having claimed the payment of 30 years and wanted to respond to pointed accusations, Angela Migliavacca trigger - mistakenly defined as a gallery owner has managed to Cagliari Duchamp Gallery until 1992, the year the official seal , then you are no longer had any news of activities that were not related to Mary Lai - was closed in the silence absolutely. While on the other side continue to emerge more and more disturbing elements such as copyright in books, DVDs, and essays never paid by the publishing house Arte Duchamp, owned by the trigger and the disappearance of many of the works produced over the past 10 years. In addition, the artist never received the proceeds that el'invenduto Engraving Gallery in Brescia was recently delivered to the merchant. It confirms not be an isolated incident considering the financial revenue of Mary Lai, which in this, just increase the pension of a teacher, a very unlikely result that contrasts sharply with those who are quote, the vast production and sales. Despite all the artist, who has never worried about the economic aspect of his work, without betraying that personality as complex as naive, it only haunts the inability to reconstruct the entire corpus of his works. At the moment a considerable part of debased. ( roberta Vanali)
