49 years ago, Robert Smithson created his first "earthwork" titled "Asphalt Rundown" in October 1969 in an abandoned quarry near Rome with the Attico Gallery. This exhibition and its accompanying publication gather rare and unpublished material from the archives of Claudio Abate and Fabio Sargentini (Galleria L'Attico), documenting Smithson's iconic pour and his exhibition inside the L'Attico Gallery. These documents bear witness to the research of the German artist Markus Karstiess, who in 2014 conducted an excavation at the Roman site in search of the remnants of Smithson's action.
