This concurrent resolution honors Michelangelo Pistoletto, an influential Italian artist born in 1933, recognizing his significant contributions to art and society. The resolution highlights Pistoletto's artistic journey, including his innovative work with mirrors and participation in the Arte Povera movement, which challenged traditional artistic hierarchies and sought to create a more collaborative human experience. It specifically celebrates his establishment of the Fondazione Pistoletto Cittadellarte, an art community in his hometown that embodies his 1994 Progetto Arte Manifesto, which called for artists to connect and integrate different human activities. The resolution also acknowledges Pistoletto's nomination for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize, recognizing his lifelong commitment to peaceful collaboration through artistic expression. As a formal act of recognition, the resolution directs the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to Pistoletto, formally honoring his extraordinary accomplishments, creativity, and collaborative artistic leadership.
