Produktbeschreibung
A tribute to Valerio Adami's more than 60 years of artistic research Realized in collaboration with the Valerio Adami Archive, the monograph is published on the occasion of the anthology that celebrates sixty-five years of research by Valerio Adami (1935), a well-known European painter (he lived between France and Italy) recognized as a valid interlocutor by all contemporary philosophers. Valerio Adami is a contemporary Italian painter belonging to the New Figuration movement. His paintings, almost always large format, give a great visual impact, therefore the artist has sometimes been defined as "pop". Behind straightforward images is hidden a more complex narrative: the Adami's artworks are rich in sophisticated visual metaphors, and they include philosophical, literary and mythological concepts, representing the evolution of ideas through the European and Western thought. Valerio Adami is a central figure in the Milanese art scene of the 1960s, very important in the international context, especially in France, from the following decade. Published on the occasion of the anthological exhibition at Palazzo Reale, the monograph presents about ninety works representative of Valerio Adami's long artistic career, a sort of "gallery" of major works, in the old-fashioned manner, yet very modern in linguistic conception. The works come from the artist, who over the decades kept with him the works he considered most significant, from various European museums, prestigious galleries and private collections, and cover the entire time span of his activity, from the first trials of the 1950s to the present.
