Exhibitions
Afro – The Poetry of Painting
Afro Basaldella
Info: With Afro – The Poetry of Painting, SETAREH presents the first solo exhibition of the Italian painter in Germany since he was represented with major work shows at the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin, the Kunstverein Hamburg and the Kunsthalle Darmstadt in the late 1960s. It is conceived in close cooperation with the Italian-based Fondazione Afro Basaldella. All the works on display derive exclusively from the artist’s estate. It is the first time ever, that the selected paintings on canvas and paper, with a focus on the 1950s and 1960s, are shown to the public. This presentation thus thematically ties in with the exhibitions DEPARTURE FROM THE SURFACE – The Invention of Italian Modernism (2015), A Gesture of Conviction – Women of Abstract Expressionism (2018) and Art of Another Kind – A new Approach to Postwar Abstraction (2021) shown by SETAREH in recent years, which already exposed renowned art after 1945 as a decisive international phenomenon of postmodernism.
