Giorgio Olivieri (1937 – 2017)

Galleria d'Arte Moderna Achille Forti (Verona, Italy)

The museum resides within Palazzo della Ragione – Verona’s iconic medieval building – creating a unique juxtaposition of eras and enhancing visitor experience.

Giorgio Olivieri (1937-2017) graduated from the Art Institute of Modena and in 1960 began his exhibition activity. Within a few years he became an interpreter of that climate of aniconic zeroing that followed the wave of informal action and favoured painting as an analytical procedure, an investigation of his instruments, his signs, his syntax, his specificity. In the early seventies he created a series of geometric, modular, sharp hard-edge structures, where the monochrome surface is interrupted by painted stripes, strings or the profiles of the different frames shaped and juxtaposed. After the middle of the decade, multicolored bands take to animate the funds monochrome and pure of the canvases, placing themselves at their margins, on the lapels fixed to the wooden frame; they emphasize the void that opens in the center of the work and together refer - because of their peripheral nature - beyond the surface, as in the work
