Piero Dorazio, la nuova pittura
works 1963-1968
Exhibition Catalogue
The catalogue, published on the occasion of the exhibition on show in Verona at the Galleria d’Arte Moderna Achille Forti and Galleria dello Scudo from 18 December 2022 to 30 April 2023, investigate the production by Dorazio between 1963 and 1968, when the weavings structure of his works dated 1959-1962 gives way to a new compositional system, the result of an investigation into the ways in which colour becomes the protagonist of space and form.
Dorazio’s oeuvre between 1963 and the end of the decade is a “new painting”, that openly confronts with what is proposed by an international context of which Dorazio is the protagonist in his own right, having established and cultivated relationships that always place him at the centre of the scene.

Artist
Piero Dorazio in 1953 moved to New York where he forged ties with American artists; he exhibited in the gallery of the publisher George Wittenborn and at the Rose Fried Gallery in 1954. In 1955 he published La fantasia dell'arte nella vita moderna (The Fantasy of Art in Modern Life). After the phase linked to the grids or textures, from 1963 he broadened the chromatic bands by opening up to pictorial compositions based on the use of timbral color.
