Agostino Bonalumi: Small Gems
Locatelli, Veronica / Soldaini, Antonella
On the small-format works of a pioneer of the shaped canvasIn 1959, Italian artist Agostino Bonalumi (1935-2013) began to create a new kind of sculptural painting, positioning wooden or steel elements behind the canvas to create protrusions, folds and other shapes. This catalog collects Bonalumi's smaller-format works in this style, a scale that allowed him to experiment with shape and material.
