Artverona

The stand is based around two artists, Toti Scialoja and Giulia Napoleone. The part dedicated to Scialoja hinges around a true masterpiece. This large work from 1963, Streghe Tre, consists of a horizontal trail of impressions made using the clever technique of priming and collage. Part of the collection of Gian Tomaso Liverani, long-time owner of Galleria La Salita in Rome, the piece is accompanied by some historic papers from between the end of the 1960s and the early 1970s. The other part is devoted to Giulia Napoleone who will be present at the stand talking to Saverio Verini at 5 pm on Sunday. It features some of her recent Indian ink works on paper from the Nero di china exhibition which was organized in the gallery in Florence in 2019 and accompanied by a catalogue retracing the development of her work since the mid-1950s.
In addition to Scialoja and Napoleone, the stand presents two works by Piero Dorazio from 1962, from Galleria Il Quadrande; what could be described as an informel canvas from 1958 and dripping on foam rubber from 1970 by Giulio Turcato; three paintings by Franco Angeli from the 1970s; two large canvases by Mattia Moreni, Un pezzo di argine di san Giacomo con un albero dietro, 1964, and one of his characteristic watermelons, Ah, la povera anguria d’inverno come un’immagine penosa, 1965.
Also on display are two early 1970s extroflected canvases by Bruno Gambone, who sadly passed away a few days ago; some sculptures by Claudio Cintoli, Luigi Mainolfi, Renato Ranaldi and Giuseppe Spagnulo; a large drawing by Lorenzo Bonechi and a pop painting by Umberto Buscioni from 1969 with his famous “ties”.
