LIGHT IN MOTION : Balla, Dorazio, Zappettini

30 Sep-9 Dec 2017

Overview

Mazzoleni is pleased to announce its autumn exhibition ‘LIGHT IN MOTION: Balla, Dorazio, Zappettini’, which will explore shared themes in the work of three major Italian artists working throughout the 20th century, Giacomo Balla (1871–1958), Piero Dorazio (1927–2005) and Gianfranco Zappettini (b. 1939). The exhibition will bring together key works by each artist to demonstrate their shared mastery of light, colour and perception during three pivotal moments in Post-War Italian art, Futurism, Lyrical Abstraction and Pittura Analitica. The exhibition will include over a dozen works on loan from private collections, never before exhibited in the UK. It is curated by Elena Gigli.
