Tazartes Collection: Bruno Saetti's 'Paesaggio grigio' and Hans Richter's 1962 work
The Tazartes Collection showcases important pieces by Hans Richter and Bruno Saetti. In 1963, the collection acquired Saetti's watercolor 'Paesaggio grigio' (23 ½ x 32 cm), which pays tribute to Turin, likely illustrating Porta Palazzo. This piece was created for his solo exhibition at the Associazione Piemonte Artistico e Culturale, held from February 16 to March 5, 1963. Saetti (1902-1984), celebrated for his evocative nudes and landscapes, served as director of the Accademia in Venice from 1950 to 1956. Additionally, the collection contains an untitled work by Richter, signed and dated 1962, dedicated to Dr. Giorgio Tazartes. Richter (1888-1976), a forerunner of experimental film and Zurich Dada, exhibited in Turin in 1962 and 1970.
