On Thursday 17 September 1998 the exhibition II Movimenfo Nucleare/The Nuclear Movement will open at the San Fedele Gallery of Milan.
The exhibition, organized by the Credito Artigiano and curated by Martina Corgnati, becomes the most thorough exploration of this important movement which had a central role in the Italian artistic culture of the postwar period and was founded in Milan by Enrico Baj, Sergio Dangelo and Joe C. Colombo in 1951.
Milan is the last stop of a journey that brought the exhibition first to Sondrio, at Palazzo Sertoli, Palazzo Pretorio and Palazzo Martinengo from March to May 1998, and later to the Rocca di Umbertide (Perugia) in July and August. Ending up in Milan at the San Fedele Gallery, the nuclear movement reconnects with its origins: in 1951 it started off with the exhibition of Enrico Baj and Sergio Dangelo at the first site of the San Fedele Gallery (then located on the square with the same name).
