Francesco Clemente has never quite belonged anywhere, which has always been the point. Since the 1970s he has divided his time between Naples, New York, and India, moving between Eastern and Western visual traditions—Hindu iconography, Tibetan Buddhism, Italian fresco, American figuration—and making paintings that treat the body as a site of myth, desire, and metamorphosis. A central figure of the Transavanguardia movement in Italy and a close friend of Basquiat and Warhol in New York, Clemente remains productively restless. Triennale Milano is now staging a major retrospective of his work, curated by Francesca Pietropaolo with Robert Storr. Some 70 works are on view, including rarely shown pieces and new paintings. —Elena Clavarino
