- The_Encyclopedic_Palace_of_the_World abstract "The Encyclopedic Palace of the World (Il Palazzo Enciclopedico del Mondo) is a mixed media, sculptural model that was created by self-taught Italian artist Marino Auriti in the 1950s. Now housed in the American Folk Art Museum, New York City, the work was conceived by Auriti as a building to "hold all the works of man in whatever field, discoveries made and those which may follow".It is made of wood, plastic, glass, metal, hair combs, and model kit parts and was created by Auriti, a mechanic, over the course of about three years. His first love was architecture and he dreamed that the 11 feet (3 m) cylindrical model skyscraper would one day be built on the National Mall in Washington D.C.. It was built on a 1:200 scale, but had it been constructed it would have stood 136-storeys high, making it the tallest building of its time. Auriti acquired a patent, exhibited it in a storefront and a bank lobby, but it was then housed in a warehouse before being donated to the museum.The Encyclopedic Palace was chosen for exhibition at the 2013 Venice Biennale by artistic director Massimiliano Gioni, who also chose it as the title for the show. He commented in an article in the New York Times that it represents "the impossibility of capturing the sheer enormity of the art world today". Gioni also noted that the choice of the Encyclopedic Palace contains an autobiographical element, in that being asked to curate such an exhibition places an expectation to create the "perfect picture" that captures the whole of modern art.".
