Bonalumi—Sculptures

Bonalumi Sculptures is presented by Mazzoleni London in collaboration with Archivio Bonalumi, curated by Francesca Pola. The exhibition features a selection of significant sculptural works exemplifying the scope of the artist’s influential career that spanned six decades. Agostino Bonalumi (1935 – 2013) was a pivotal figure of Post-War Italian art and his bold sculptures and inventive canvases helped to shape the course of abstract art. Alongside his friends the artists Piero Manzoni and Enrico Castellani, Bonalumi re-invented painting by blurring the boundaries between the two and three dimensional, to investigate form and shadow. His work is held in several museum collections including the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. The exhibition coincides with the publication of a large-scale monograph Bonalumi Sculptures, published by Numerozeroeditore, in collaboration with the gallery and the artist’s estate.
