COMPENDIUM

An overview of the last 75 years of Art History from Abstract Expressionism, Color Field, Minimalism through Pop art.

Compendium: a brief summary of a larger work or of a field of knowledge

Art history: the study of objects of art in their historical development and stylistic contexts, that is genre, design, format, and style.

This exhibition provides a survey of major artworks produced during the twentieth century in the Americas and Europe, their theoretical justifications and critical receptions, from Abstract Expressionism to Pop art. By combining an overview of the period with select works from influential figures such as Pollock, Krasner, de Kooning, Smith, Hofmann, and Warhol and a selection of Italian masters such as Pistoletto, Festa, Pomodoro, and Biasi — Compendium makes us contemplate how we look at and think about the last 75 years and where the future may lead us.
