IMAGINE New Imagery in Italian Art 1960-1969

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.
