Rediscovering Gian Berto Vanni: The Early Years, 1952–1960
Arco Gallery is proud to present Rediscovering Gian Berto Vanni: The Early Years, 1952–1960, the first in a series of exhibitions dedicated to the reappraisal of Gian Berto Vanni, a painter whose work constitutes a rare and enduring continuation of the path opened by Paul Klee. Often working outside of dominant artistic movements, Vanni forged a rigorous and poetic visual language that still resonates with contemporary abstraction.
This exhibition marks the first in a series dedicated to the rediscovery of the art of Gian Berto Vanni. It focuses on the works he created in his late twenties and early thirties, where a vision emerges through color fields ruptured by floating geometries and crystalline tensions. The period from 1952 to 1960 constitutes a defining chapter, in which his visual language began to assert itself with clarity and independence, in conscious distance from the dominant movements of his time.
