IMAGINE
New Imagery in Italian Art 1960-1969 |
23 April - 19 September 2016
PEGGY GUGGENHEIM COLLECTION | VENICE, ITALY |
IMAGINE. New Imagery in Italian Art 1960-1969 offers a fresh perspective on the richness of artistic production in Italy at the height of the country’s economic boom. |
In the 1960s, artistic experimentation in Italy flourished at an unprecedented pace and intensity. The goal was to create a new vocabulary of signs and images capable of interpreting the vitality of contemporary culture and society. |
The exhibition, in a tightly curated sequence of galleries, lays out the multiple lines of research of a number of Italian artists who, emerging from the final phases of the neo-avant-garde, reconstituted a new world of images, figures, and narrative. |
Artists exhibited include Franco Angeli, Mario Ceroli, Domenico Gnoli, Giosetta Fioroni, Tano Festa, Jannis Kounellis, Fabio Mauri, Francesco lo Savio, Michelangelo Pistoletto, and Mario Schifano. |
