The Prize

Artwork by Franco Angeli produced in 1985.

Technique: varnish on canvas
Dimensions : 80 x 60 cm

This work is part of the Angiolino Calestani archive and comes with a certificate of authenticity. It also features in the monographic volume by Franco Gallo, 1980s, 212 pages, published in 1985/7.

War, society, politics, the Rome of the 1950s that was rising from the ashes, these are the elements at the heart of Franco Angeli's work (Rome, 1935-1988) - an eclectic and self-taught artist.

Angeli experiemented with techniques and materials, making him one of the leading figures on the Italian Informal Art scene - one of his inspirations being Alberto Burri - and one of the most active members of the so-called School of Piazza del Popolo, the Italian pop art movement that sprung up in Rome in the sixties, which he joined together with friends and colleagues Mario Schifano and Tano Festa.

The Cause

The mission at the heart of Theodora is to contribute to the wellbeing of children in hospitals, hospices and specialist care centers by providing visits from professional performers who have been trained to work in a medical environment.

At the Theodora Children’s Charity, we believe that laughter is the best medicine. Our Giggle Doctors visit children in hospitals, hospices and specialist care centers across England. By combining music, play, magic and storytelling these professional performers bring magical moments to brave children in challenging times. We believe that EVERY sick or disabled child should get the giggles that only a Giggle Doctor can bring.

Our Giggle Doctors are professional performers, highly trained to work both in the medical environment and with children with disabilities. They come from a wide range of backgrounds and bring with them a variety of skills (among our team are actors, entertainers, magicians, musicians and singers). The training consists of a rigorous schedule of artistic and medical workshops, which cover topics such as child development, infection control, child bereavement and the impact of illness and bereavement on families.
