From 8 to 28 February 2001

Biasutti & Biasutti presents an exhibition dedicated to Roberto Crippa (Milan 1921-Bresso, Milan 1972), one of the most important voices of Spatialism, founded by Lucio Fontana in 1947. An art, that of Crippa and his fellow travelers, oriented towards overcoming abstractionism and realism, elaborating a new dimension instead. Thirty works covering a time span between the 1950s and 1970s. The exhibition opens with the first experiments on Spirals, examples of which are "Spirali" of 1951, "Soli e spirali" of 1952, to arrive at a series of Compositions: "Abstract Composition" of '49, "Composition" of 1954 up to the "Sugheri", made between the early 60s and early 70s: an example of this is "Landscape" of 1962, "Lunar Landscape" of 1964 and "Moon Sun" of 1970. The exhibition concludes with some Totems, an evolution of the spirals, but certainly another important step in the artist's visual journey. Text by Pier Paolo Benedetto.
