Piazza Maggiore - IndipendenzaASCOM certified gallery
The Galleria de' Foscherari opened at the beginning of the 1960s, at a
time when literary and artistic expressions that came out of a
reassessment of historical avant-garde movements were already
established. It is thus in this context of the establishment of artistic
neo-avant-gardism that the Gallery lay the groundwork for its own
cultural identity by launching an intense program of exhibitions along
two closely connected guiding principles. On one side, the
re-presentation of the "tradition of the new", that is, a literal
reassessment of historical avant-garde movements in their critically
consolidated tradition. On the other side, a focus on experimental
research which at that time was gaining particular liveliness and tended
to identify itself under the neo-avant-garde banner. From the first
perspective, we remember the exhibitions dedicated to German
Expressionism, presented by an historian of the avant-garde, Mario De
Micheli, and exhibitions by Klee, Ernst, Grosz, Sutherland, Vasarély,
Calder and Nicholson. While the other guiding principle saw events
dedicated to Manzoni, Christo, Plessi, Gnoli, Tancredi, Novelli,
Twombly, Ceroli, Cavaliere and Tilson, to name just some important
ones...
