Explore the unique work of artist Salvatore Meo (1914–2004), opening June 3rd at the Martin Museum. Meo's significant but largely underrecognized assemblage art, was inspired by the discarded materials he found in the streets and markets of postwar Rome. In constructing artwork from humble objects, he challenged his viewers to think expansively about the nature of art and its relation to our everyday lives.
