Spaziale!

About

For the first time in the history of Opera Gallery London, the gallery will showcase around 40 works from the 20th century art movement of Spatialism. Artists include Lucio Fontana, the founder of Spatialism, who is currently having his first major US retrospective at the Metropolitan Museum in New York, to be displayed subsequently at the Guggenheim in Bilbao; Enrico Castellani, whose art has been exhibited at the MoMA, Solomon Guggenheim Museum, Centre Pompidou, Stedelijk Museum and Milan Prada Foundation; Agostino Bonalumi, a member of the ZERO movement and recipient of the prestigious Presidente della Repubblica Award; Pino Manos, one of the last living artists from Spatalism.

Spatialism marked a true artistic revolution in Post-War art. A new era based on abstraction and a profound idea that the environment contributes, beyond the artist’s hand, to the creation and the meaning of an artwork.

At a time of great appetite for Post-War Italian art both from an academic and an art market prospective, Opera Gallery is honoured to present this important exhibition in collaboration with the Italian Embassy who has demonstrated a great level of dedication and passion towards the continued promotion and appreciation of Italian artistic excellence.
