Homage to Giulio Turcato

The exhibition, curated by Alberto Fiz, pays homage to the artist 10 years after his death.
It is a thorough show with more than 80 works from 1948 to 1992, in a set-up that wholly explores the intense artistic career of Turcato. After the wide retrospective dedicated to Renato Guttuso’s works, the Turin Gallery continues its work intended to highlight the important phases of the Italian art in the European context.
The exhibition presents some of the strongholds of Turcato’s research such as ‘Rivolta/Revolt’ of 1949, already presented at the City Gallery of Munich in 1985, or ‘Comizio/Rally’ still of 1949, a very well-known subject, which is ascribable to his social and political commitment.
All together the exhibition allows the visitor to join the inner nomadism typical of Turcato who at Palazzo Panizza faced abstraction radically and unbiased, with determination and lyricism, never giving up experimentation.
