Work of art by Salvatore Fiume

Aquatint etching. Its dimensions are 65 x 90 cm.

Edition: 146/199

Salvatore Fiume was an Italian painter, sculptor, architect, writer and set designer. In 1949, he held his first official show in Milan at the Galleria Borromini. In 1953, Life and Time magazines commissioned him to create a series of works portraying an imaginary story of Manhattan and the New York Bay for their New York headquarters which Fiume reinvented as islands of statues.

In 1962, a touring exhibition brought one hundred of Fiume's paintings to various German museums, including those in the cities of Cologne and Regensburg. In 1985, he held a great show of his paintings at Castel Sant’Angelo in Rome.

His works are found in some of the most important museums in the world like the Vatican Museums, the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, the MoMA in New York, the Puškin in Moscow, and the Gallery of Modern Art in Milan. A commemorative exhibit, "The great retrospective" (207 works), celebrating a decade from his passing was held in 2007-2008 at the Galleria d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea in Arezzo, Italy.

The Cause

The mission at the heart of Theodora is to contribute to the wellbeing of children in hospitals, hospices and specialist care centers by providing visits from professional performers who have been trained to work in a medical environment.

At the Theodora Children’s Charity, we believe that laughter is the best medicine. Our Giggle Doctors visit children in hospitals, hospices and specialist care centers across England. By combining music, play, magic and storytelling these professional performers bring magical moments to brave children in challenging times. We believe that EVERY sick or disabled child should get the giggles that only a Giggle Doctor can bring.

Our Giggle Doctors are professional performers, highly trained to work both in the medical environment and with children with disabilities. They come from a wide range of backgrounds and bring with them a variety of skills (among our team are actors, entertainers, magicians, musicians and singers). The training consists of a rigorous schedule of artistic and medical workshops, which cover topics such as child development, infection control, child bereavement and the impact of illness and bereavement on families.
