Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
Tornabuoni Art is pleased to announce its participation in Frieze Seoul 2022. Mindful of the increasing interest in Italian art of both private collectors and museums, the gallery presents a selection of important artworks by the most iconic Italian artists from the Post-War period to the present day.
This presentation will bring together artists from different cities, generations and artistic movements who left their mark on the history of art and who broke with the pictorial language of the time by transcending the tangible reality of the canvas in different ways.
In the 1960s, a new generation of artists searched for unprecedented ways of expression, moving away from the popular and traditional Realism of the first half of the 20th Century. #albertoburri, #alighieroboetti, #luciofontana, #enricocastellani, #agostinobonalumi and #paoloscheggi, key leaders of this great change, developed an art in which the viewer was involved with all the senses. These artists aspired to change, making art with ordinary materials, rejecting the boundaries of the artistic conventions, especially the flat surface of the canvas, a ground of experimentation.
The leader figure of this artistic shift is #luciofontana (1899-1968), who worked on the primal gestures of piercing and slashing the canvas, provoking the common sense that consists in sparing the canvas of any damage, recalling then the search for essence and origin. In 1957, #enricocastellani (1930-2017) arrived in Milan and met #luciofontana who influenced his own work. Castellani also toyed with light and shadow on the surface of monochromatic canvases, shaping them with nails.
From the early 1960s #paoloscheggi (1940-1971) began experimenting with the monochrome, inspired by the works of Fontana. The artist focused on the materiality of painting, creating three-dimensional works by overlapping several canvases. His artistic attitude brought him closer to the “Artisti oggettuali” (artists that research the object), such as Bonalumi, Manzoni and Castellani, and led him to re-interpret both Spatialism and monochrome painting.
In Rome, #albertoburri (1915-1995), developed a material meditation on form and its transformative process. He used raw materials such as bags, cellotex, wood, plastic, iron, attacking the traditional aesthetic canons and responding to the existential anxiety felt by many Post-War European and American artists at the time.
At the same time the Arte povera movement (literally, “poor art”) fought for a return to simple objects and messages. The artist #alighieroboetti (1940-1994) was for a while one of the leading figures of this movement, using a wide array of different materials and techniques, such as stamps and ballpoint pens. The radical aspect of Boetti’s work was to question the role of the artist and the impact of chance, sequence, language, repetition and authorship in the creation of a work of art.
Shifting away from both figurative and abstract norms, most of these artists sought to strip their works of any formal element, predominantly through radical conceptual and technical forms of expression. Their pioneering work and new artistic languages influenced new generations of artists in Europe and beyond. |
