📆April 23 to May 16, 2026.
📍Glenda Cinquegrana Art Consulting. Via Luigi Settembrini 17, 20124, Milan.
Glenda Cinquegrana Art Consulting is pleased to present the group exhibition At the Limit of Painting, featuring a selection of works by artists associated with the Italian Pittura Analitica movement, including Enzo Cacciola, Vincenzo Cecchini, Giorgio Griffa, Paolo Masi, Claudio Olivieri, and Gianfranco Zappettini. Alongside these key figures of historical Analytical Painting, the exhibition includes Vittorio Corsini and Silvio Wolf, whose practices engage with certain concerns of that period, articulating them through the languages of contemporaneity. The exhibition title alludes to one of the defining characteristics of Pittura Analitica: its sustained investigation into the material conditions of painting, pushed to the point of transforming painting into installation, into process, into an “opaque” object. Emerging in the 1970s in response to a cultural climate that proclaimed the death of painting, Analytical Painting developed in dialogue with parallel international tendencies, including the French Supports/Surfaces, German Geplante Malerei, and American Systemic Painting. Beyond these affinities, it constituted a distinct artistic current, shaped through a series of exhibitions that were crucial to its definition. Yet, while historically circumscribed in time and place, its conceptual and process-oriented approach has resurfaced in the practices of younger generations.
