in Milan!

This , Tornabuoni Art invites you to visit exhibitions featuring our artists in museums and institutions in Italy and around the world! Today, discover ‘Pino Pascali’ at Fondazione Prada in Milan.

Curator Mark Godfrey has divided the exhibition into four sections: Pascali's approach to exhibitions as original environments (1965 - 1968); the most significant group exhibitions he took part in; his sculptures in the photographs of Claudio Abate, Andrea Taverna and Ugo Mulas; and finally his use of natural and industrial materials.

“Pascali explored the relationship of sculpture and stage props, and contrasted sculpture with functional objects. Works that looked from a distance like readymades revealed themselves close-up to be constructed from found materials. Pascali thought about what a ‘fake’ or ‘feigned’ sculpture could be. [...] Pascali is important today because he was an ‘exhibitionist’. […] Pascali recognized that the postwar artist had to devote as much of their energies to exhibition-making as to refining their work in the studio.” (Mark Godfrey)

Check out the artist’s page on the gallery’s website to learn more Tornabuoni Art’s past exhibitions involving Pino Pascali and stay tuned for all upcoming projects.

The lower floor of Tornabuoni Art Paris hosts the series 'Green Temptation’ (2024) created by Herrero, which features two monumental canvases more than four meters high and two more paintings of nature, all in the artist's signature acid green hue. Together, the four works create a narrative that highlights the fragility of the natural world, emphasizing how even the most imposing creatures are susceptible to the impacts of human encroachment and environmental changes, in a poignant reminder of the delicate balance that sustains the ecosystem.

Herrero's green paintings pulsate with what can be described as atomic vibrations. These vibrations metaphorically reflect the artist's perception of nature's underlying forces—both destructive and creative.

The delicate balance of these forces is at the core of Herrero’s message, urging viewers to recognize and respect the fragility of the natural world.

‘Abel Herrero. Dangerous Games’ offers a profound reflection on the contemporary environmental landscape, all the while expressing a very personal issue for the artist, who grew up in Cuba, an island that was and is currently particularly vulnerable to human action.

Tornabuoni Art Paris will close soon for the summer break, so don’t miss the chance to visit the exhibition!

To celebrate 20 years in Forte dei Marmi, Tornabuoni Art is delighted to invite its audience to learn more about artists who have loved this seaside town, rich in history, art and culture.

Enrico Galassi (1907-1980), an “extraordinarily ingenious architect who designs houses based on human needs, builder of machines, inventor, a true Renaissance man”, became friends in the 1930s with Alberto Savinio (1891-1952) - the younger brother of Giorgio de Chirico - for whom he designed and built a summer house in Forte dei Marmi.

“A sugar cube... my white bride... set on the ground on a single floor like a white crab on the sand”: this is how Savinio described his beloved house with reddish tiles, hidden in the pine forest at the end of Via del Poveromo, in Poveromo, a district of Massa.

In complete respect for the existing nature, Galassi allowed the walls to caress the trees and embrace an inner courtyard. The house unfolds in a spiral shape, with a long serpentine wall branching off from a rectangular body to incorporate an oak tree and a courtyard within its sinuosities.

To discover this and other curiosities about Forte dei Marmi, its timeless locations, and captivating history, download the digital guide from the link in bio!

The artworks displayed above are on view in the Forte dei Marmi gallery, open every day, including on bank holidays:

”We could talk about the future thirty years ago, even today we cannot say what the future will be… But in these forty years of my activity … I see that a future existed.” (Lucio Fontana interviewed by Carla Lonzi in 1967)

Fontana and Soulages met in the late 1950s and quickly bonded over their shared interest in pushing the limits of contemporary art. They often discussed their work and inspirations, with Soulages once recalling a visit to Fontana’s studio where he was struck by the sheer audacity and simplicity of Fontana’s slashed canvases. This mutual influence is subtly reflected in their works, where Fontana’s explorations of space find an echo in Soulages’ deep, reflective black surfaces.

Their friendship, based on mutual artistic respect and shared visionary ideals, adds a personal and historical depth to the exhibition. Soulages’ admiration for Fontana’s ability to manipulate time and space through his art is a central theme of the exhibition.

Tornabuoni Art is delighted to collaborate with the Musée Soulages in Rodez for ‘The Lucio Fontana Exhibition. There Was Indeed a Future - Un Futuro c’è stato’ through the loans of eleven artworks. All series on view represent the breadth and depth of Fontana’s revolutionary approach to art.

This exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue written under the direction of and edited by . This journey through the visionary mind of an artist who redefined the notion of art offers a rare opportunity to witness an œuvre that continues to resonate and inspire.

"The gentle breath of art
Whispers in colors and words
The embrace of eternal light."
Giuseppe Ungaretti

‘Painting and Poetry. Ungaretti and the Art of Seeing’ in Florence !

The exhibition, curated by Alexandra Zingone, portrays Giueseppe Ungaretti's passion and connection with the Italian and international painting scene. It features, among others, Carlo Carrà and Ottone Rosai, in whose works it is possible to trace that "intensity of seeing" that Ungaretti would always pursue as much in his poems as in his investigations into the figurative arts.

Do not miss the opportunity to visit the exhibition and discover the new edition of the edited by Tornabuoni Art, featuring new archival materials, including writings, correspondence and poems by Ungaretti, that give a comprehensive view of the artistic and poetic landscape of the time.

"I examined the flat surface, seen not as a place of representation but as a page on which to present signs of communication. It became a support for truly two-dimensional signs, which drew objectivity from the fact that they were currently used as conventional signs." (R. Mambor)

Beginning in 1960, Renato Mambor's research focused on observation, language and the relationship with the other. Initially, he was interested in investigating road signs as an instrument of communication.

He was particularly attracted to the human silhouette, as can be seen in ‘Signal Man’ (1962), which he later multiplied using stencils and stamps to further depersonalize it.

This is the case of the 'Stamps' series, begun in 1963 and made with a rubber stamp: "The use of the stamp reinforces the idea of an anti-expressive ex*****on in favor of direct communication. The use of a recognizable iconic sign constituted a common point of reference between the artist and the public" (R. Mambor).

Come discover Tornabuoni Art’s exhibition in Rome and Renato Mambor's artistic journey from his first works in the late 1950s to his production in the 2000s!

‘Abel Herrero. Jeux Dangereux’ is in !

“The visible world is not saturated, it is our gaze that saturates the visible. Everything that is looked at by the masses becomes prey to that form of engulfing and bulimic optical relativism that causes any image to be swallowed and spit out, exalted and erased simultaneously. Painting, the most important and noble form of representation, is caught up in this dramatic scenario where everything is equal to everything and nothing.” (Abel Herrero)

Herrero’s art stands as a testament to the enduring and fragile beauty of our planet.

‘Dangerous Games’ opens on the ground floor of the gallery with the installation ‘Black Sea Games’ (2024). In this evocative ensemble that features three large oil canvases and eight marble spheres, Herrero draws a poignant parallel between the rhythm of the tides and the permanence of marble.

The specific choice of Spanish marble Marquinia, with its distinctive grain that mirrors the foam of the sea, illustrates his deep connection to the natural world, which is rooted his personal narrative.
The marble balls, shaped and smoothed by human hands, stand in stark contrast to the ever-changing, untamed tides, embodying Herrero’s will to capture the fleeting and eternal in a single gesture.

This juxtaposition reflects the artist’s contemplation of the dynamic forces of nature and their interaction with human intervention.

Don’t miss the opportunity to visit the exhibition and learn more about Abel Herrero and his ‘Black Sea Games’ series!

Tornabuoni Art is delighted to share the exhibition ‘Enrico Castellani. Antologica’ at the Mendrisio Art Museum in Switzerland.

This spring marked the museum’s first time hosting a comprehensive retrospective of Castellani’s career in Switzerland, showcasing over seventy iconic works. The location and scale of this exhibition also highlights the special regard Castellani had for the country, which he called home for many years.

From his early Abstract Expressionist works to his innovative shaped monochrome canvases, Castellani’s practice has left an indelible mark on the contemporary art scene. This exhibition, organized with the Enrico Castellani Foundation, explores the artist’s entire creative journey, featuring installations, sculptures, and rare documentary materials.

The artist is being celebrated at the Serviti Complex, a Renaissance gem that strikes a beautiful contrast with Castellani’s contemporary aesthetic, highlighting his profound dialogue with space.

In Piazza Garibaldi, under the “ombri molli” (soft shadows) of the fourth plane tree, ever since the 1920s some of the most famous intellectuals and artists of their time have been sitting at the tables of the historic café “Il Quarto Platano” (the fourth plane tree), now known as Caffè Roma.
Painters such as Carlo Carrà, Felice Carena and Ardengo Soffici, writers and poets such as Enrico Pea, Mario Luzi and Eugenio Montale, as well as art critics such as Roberto Longhi had their favorite place here. They could discuss artistic and cultural issues, in “stagioni felici e feconde” (happy and fruitful times), as the plaque affixed in their memory in 1969 quotes.

Come visit over the summer and discover hidden gems and unexpected stories in Forte dei Marmi and its surroundings. Explore the history of this timeless and iconic place, as well as the notable personalities who found inspiration during their stay here.

All eyes on the Roman theatre of Pompeii as Emilio Isgrò’s ‘Odissea cancellata’ produced by Teatro di Napoli took the stage!

This unique performance that took place on June 13th until June 15th, transformed Homer’s epic into a modern tale through the artist’s signature erasure technique. The play reimagines Ulysses as an ultra-modern antihero navigating a timeless, digital sea, surrounded by reflections of our contemporary world.

The ancient theatre itself became a massive video installation, with verses of the Odyssey erased and brought to life.

Tornabuoni Art is proud to see one of our esteemed artists and collaborators, Emilio Isgrò, create a performance piece which was a rare opportunity to experience a fusion of visual art and theatre in a historic setting.

Tornabuoni Art is thrilled to announce that our new Paris exhibition, ‘Abel Herrero: Jeux Dangereux’, is officially open!

Our Parisian gallery is showcasing a selection of recent works by Cuban artist Abel Herrero, which explore his intimate relationship with the world around him. Herrero’s works delicately narrate the paradoxes of the present and the modern age through elements of nature.

One of the most prominent subjects in the exhibition is the sea. A familiar and ever-present element on his native island, Cuba, the sea symbolizes Herrero’s ongoing search for freedom and hope. However, it also represents the excesses of the modern age and, for an islander, can also be a form of imprisonment. It is within this contrast that Herrero’s art resonates most profoundly.

If you missed the opening of ‘Jeux Dangereux’ on Saturday the 22nd, Tornabuoni Art invites you to join us and discover nature and its elements through the eyes of Abel Herrero!

The profound relationship between the renowned poet Giuseppe Ungaretti and the acclaimed artist Piero Dorazio is a fascinating fusion of poetry and visual art.

Ungaretti’s influence on Dorazio shines through in his vibrant works. Dorazio often credited Ungaretti’s poetic lessons for shaping his art, highlighting their deep connection between painting and poetry.

Ungaretti about Dorazio’s artworks said: “When I look at the bands, almost incandescent ingots, of colors not placed to function complementarily but overlaid with violence to dramatize their reciprocal situation, I see, although they are perfectly adhering bands one on top of the other, each color appears isolated from the other and the view is in that same instant allowed to undergo a shock and to advance, to expand, to illuminate in the depth that they are carving out between one another the prodigious objects.”

From Ungaretti’s critical text written for Dorazio’s new visual language, presented at the San Gallo exhibition at the Im Erker Gallery in 1966 to their intense collaboration between 1967, 1968 and 1969, especially on the book ‘La Luce. Poesie 1914-1961’ with 13 lithographs by Dorazio, their partnership created a unique blend of intellectual and artistic brilliance.

Tornabuoni Art is delighted to collaborate with in Rodez for their new exhibition, ‘The Lucio Fontana Exhibition. There Was Indeed a Future - Un Futuro c’è stato.’

The gallery has the pleasure of exceptionally lending eleven masterpieces by Lucio Fontana for the exhibition.
Among them, some of the most unique artworks by the Italo-Argentinian artist, including one of the only 38 existing ‘Fine di Dio’ artworks, a unique hexagonal artwork from his very first experiments with the slashes in 1959, as well as a blue painting with two perfect, parallel slashes which spearheaded the communication of the memorable 2014 retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art of Paris.

Born from a 2020 conversation with the late Master, Pierre Soulages, the exhibition explores Fontana’s profound relationship between time and space. The Soulages Museum, renowned for its dedication to modern art, presents a rare opportunity to explore the visionary works of Fontana, one of Italy’s 20th-century artistic giants, who was particularly admired by Pierre Soulages himself.

As this is the first major Fontana exhibition in France since 2014, it promises an unforgettable experience for all art enthusiasts.

We’re thrilled to announce ‘Dangerous Games’, the debut exhibition in France by the Cuban-born artist Abel Herrero, who has spent the past 30 years perfecting his craft in Italy.

Born in Cuba in 1971, Herrero moved to Milan at 23 and has since exhibited globally, including at the Venice Biennale and MAXXI in Rome. He forged friendships with a wide circle of artists and intellectuals, including the masters of the previous generation, such as Claudio Parmiggiani, with whom he exhibited in 2023 at the Palazzo Medici Riccardi in Florence on the occasion of a project with the Museo del Novecento.

« In geographical terms, an island is a piece of land surrounded by sea. An island in a sea empty of boats is like a prison where everyone dreams of travelling and their unfulfilled dream turns into hallucinations. There, sun-scorched bodies wander, move about, drift aimlessly. Around them, the yellow, green, red magenta ocean, the blinding horizon, saturated of pure colour, the shipwrecking of senses, nausea, an ecstasy of light. »
Abel Herrero

In his Tuscan countryside studio, he creates large-scale canvases that delve into the human connection with nature, using layers of desaturated oil paint to reveal profound social and political messages.

Join us on June 22nd to experience the compelling art of Abel Herrero and his powerful exploration of the world around us.

Alberto BURRI and his personal use of FIRE 🔥 Check out this short video and discover through the words of Michele Casamonti how Alberto Burri’s relationship with fire stemmed from, and brought together, creative inspiration and his scientific background. The artist said: ‘’For a long time I wanted to understand the way fire consumes materials, to understand the nature of combustion and how everything can live and die in combustion to form a perfect unity.’’ ON FIRE 📍Fondazione Giorgio Cini, San Giorgio Maggiore Island, Venice 📆 until the 24th of July @fondazionegcini #Biennale #AlbertoBurri #VeniceBiennale #FondazioneGiorgioCini #OnFire #Fire #Avantgarde #Tornabuoniart ____ Video: ©️Tornabuoni Art

Yves KLEIN, FIRE, and post-war AVANT-GARDE movements🔥 Watch this short video dedicated to Klein to get a glimpse of the section dedicated to him and enjoy the exhibition ‘On Fire’ presented by the curator, Bruno Corà, and by Michele Casamonti, son of Tornabuoni Art’s founder. In particular, Klein was attracted to the dialectical aspect of fire. “ Fire, for me, is future without forgetting the past. It is the memory of nature. It is gentleness. ‘It is gentleness and torture’. It is health and it is apocalypse. It is a pleasure for the child sitting prudently by the fireplace; yet it punishes any disobedience when he wishes to play too close to its flames. It is well-being and it is respect. It is a tutelary and terrible god, both good and bad.” Yves Klein #OnFire @fondazionegcini #BiennaleVenice #Biennale2022 #YvesKlein #Tornabuoniart —- Exhibition video, Fondazione Giorgio Cini , 2022, ©️tornabuoniart

Panorama Monopoli a city-wide exhibition curated by Vincenzo de Bellis 1–4 September 2022 ITALICS has chosen Monopoli (Bari) for the second edition of the city-wide exhibition Panorama curated by @debellisvincenzo , Curator and Associate Director of Programs, Visual Arts at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. Panorama is the special event ITALICS periodically holds in some of the most extraordinary places inthe Italian landscape. After last year’s first edition #PanoramaProcida on the wonderful island of Procida, from Thursday 1 to Sunday 4 September 2022, ITALICS is organizing a new itinerary in one of the most fascinating places on the Adriatic coast: #Monopoli. The ancient seaside village of Monopoli, in the heart of the Apulian coast along the “Costa dei Trulli”, retains a medieval historic center. A maze of pedestrian streets, typical chiassi - quaint narrow passageways - and ancient piazzas, a gem of popular housing interspersed with sumptuous religiousbuildings and splendid aristocratic homes. And right in these streets, the second edition of the city-wide #PanoramaMonopoli exhibition will be held in early September of 2022. This year’s Italics d’Oro award celebrates Lisetta Carmi, and her fundamental artistic experience andwork. Since 1979, the artist and photographer Lisetta Carmi (Genoa, 1924) has lived in Cisternino, Puglia, where she founded a meditation community. #LisettaCarmi is a great Italian artist who has distinguished herself with work that is well ahead ofthe times, and for this reason, still extremely topical today. We are waiting for you in Monopoli for art, architecture, antiquity and contemporary art, experiences and an enriching calendar of special events open to the public, happenings and side initiatives.

Pills of Art - Ep. 7: Scheggi’s ‘Intersuperficie’ explained by Roberto Casamonti A pioneering artist of the 1960s art scene, Scheggi’s endeavors were profoundly multi-disciplinary (visual arts, architecture, fashion, poetry, performances), revealing an approach that was both conceptual and metaphysical. With the works ‘Intersuperfici' Scheggi discovered a path entirely his own, developed as a natural enrichment of the entirely spatial and conceptual complexities outlined by Lucio Fontana in the uncompromising avant-garde milieu of the Milanese scene. Despite his short life, his works were included in many editions of Venice Biennale and are still exhibited internationally. Waiting for our new exhibition ‘Vincenzo Agnetti and Paolo Scheggi. The temple. Birth of the Eidos’, Roberto Casamonti, founder of @tornabuoniart, clarifies what Scheggi’s ‘Intersuperfici’ works are. @associazionepaoloscheggi #pillsofart #paoloscheggi #intersuperficie #spatialism #postwarart #tornabuoniart ______ Video: ©️ Tornabuoni Art ©️ PAOLO SCHEGGI MERLINI, by SIAE 2022
