Valerio Adami's First New York Show in 25 Years at David Nolan Gallery

David Nolan Gallery in New York is presenting 'Alice in the Land of Violence', an exhibition of drawings and paintings by Italian artist Valerio Adami from the 1960s. This marks Adami's first New York exhibition in nearly 25 years. The works on view were created between 1962 and 1967, a period before Adami developed his signature graphic, hard-edged style. The pieces are described as raw and exuberant, moving between fantasy and reality, and embracing postwar high fashion, automobiles, and commercial culture. The exhibition's title is taken from one of the works included. Adami, born in Bologna in 1935, experienced great international success during the 1960s, with his work highlighted at the Venice Biennale and Documenta III. The exhibition brings together a body of work from this formative period, offering viewers a glimpse into Adami's early artistic development.
