VOYAGE
Light masterpieces in Paris
Detail from floor light by Gino Sarfatti producer: Arteluce, 1957
After the war, Italian culture was still largely affected by the austerity of the thirties and several decades of dictatorial regime. Many artists and architects moved to the united states, where culture was being rapidly industrialised. They discovered products with rich forms that were opulent, aerodynamic and highlighted by frequent advertising. It was in this entirely new spirit that the Italians entered the fifties.
Galerie kreo pays homage to a decade that was unique in it’s abundant creation that was both diverse and modern. The fifties highlighted pieces that were both rare and intelligent which, like all masterpieces, are timeless. Please come and see Feb. 12 – Apr. 2
