Bianco Italia

26 April - 13 July 2013

Paris

Tornabuoni Art presents an exhibition dedicated to the Italian avant-garde, pioneer in the creation of white monochrome works.

“Bianco Italia” brings together some fifty works by artists who, since the end of the 1950s, have experimented with the purity of this “non-color” and have made it a real common reference.

On the occasion of this event, the gallery publishes a bilingual exhibition catalog (French – English) retracing the beginnings and the evolution of this great adventure of Italian white.
