Tazartes Collection Highlights Franco Garelli and Antonio Carena, Turin's Postwar Avant-Garde
The Tazartes Collection showcases the creations of key Turin avant-garde artists from the 1950s, Franco Garelli and Antonio Carena. Garelli (October 19, 1909 – April 22, 1973), a painter and physician, produced an untitled ink drawing (47 x 34 cm, signed "Garelli 2.10.61") from Galleria D'Arte Piemonte Artistico e Culturale, which was established in 1957. He began his artistic journey in 1927, exploring Futurism and Informale. His work was featured at the International Center of Aesthetic Research (ICAR) when it opened on March 3, 1960. Carena (April 29, 1925 – February 1, 2010) created several untitled pieces (84 x 70 cm, signed "Carena '61") and Cielo LXI (79 x 98 cm, signed "A. Carena 59"), having studied at Accademia Albertina and gained international acclaim in the late 1950s.
