Pier Paolo Calzolari

Ronchini Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition by Pier Paolo Calzolari. This is the first solo gallery presentation of this seminal artist in London and the first significant exhibition of Calzolari’s practice in the U.K. since his inclusion in the historic exhibition Zero to Infinity: Arte Povera 1962-1972 at Tate Modern, London in 2001. The exhibition will focus on drawings, studies and projects that will span the course of Calzolari’s career from the early 1960s to the present and give an overview of many of Calzolari’s signature concepts, offering insight into the artist’s ongoing interest in light, matter and time. The work of Pier Paolo Calzolari is included in numerous museum collections and has been exhibited at Documenta, MoMA, Fondazione Prada and other prominent institutions. A major exhibition of his work was held at the Galleria Internazionale d’Arte Moderna at Ca’ Pesaro, Venice during the 2011 Biennale. In 2012, Marianne Boesky and The Pace Galleries combined their Chelsea spaces to present ‘When the Dreamer Dies What Happens to the Dream’, the artist’s first solo exhibition in New York since 1988. In 2013 Calzolari had his most recent solo show Another at Galerie Kamel Mennour in Paris.
