The Prize

Work of art by Franco Angeli.

Mixed technique on paper. Dimensions: 100 x 70 cm. Year 1980.

A mid-20th century Italian painter, Angeli was attracted to the art of Alberto Burri at a young age and began to follow the artists of that era like Tano Festa, Mario Schifano, Renato Guttuso and Jannis Kounellis. 

His first personal exhibit was organized in 1960 at the Galleria La Salita in Rome. He participated in several shows at the Biennale di Venezia and the Quadriennale di Roma. 

In the '70s he began to be interested in photography, primarily in black and white. In the '80s, Angeli dedicated himself to figurative art: columns, deserted squares, and "marionettes."

Among all his shows, the most noteworthy are: "New perspectives in Italian painting" in Bologna, 1962; "The School of Piazza del Popolo" in Varese, 1999; "Franco Angeli's photographic dream 1967-1975," Mercati di Traiano, Roman Forum Museums, in Rome, 2011; and "Imagine. New images in Italian art 1960 - 1969," Guggenheim Collection, in Venice, 2016.
