The Die is Cast

10 December 2015 – 27 January 2016

London

Tornabuoni Art is delighted to announce its first group exhibition in its London space presenting over forty works by Italian artists such as Afro, Boetti, Burri, Castellani, Fontana, Kounellis, Pistoletto, Scheggi and Zorio, to name but a few, who documented through their work the move away from the Italian artistic tradition of figuration after the 1930s.

Curated by Sergio Risaliti, The Die is Cast explores through painting, and abstract sculpture in particular, how these artists created a rift in the ever-conflicting and unresolved relationship between tradition and the avant-garde.
