Alighiero Boetti's Rare Installation 'Zoo' on View in Milan
Galleria Dep Art in Milan presents 'Alighiero Boetti. Il mondo fantastico,' curated by Federico Sardella. The exhibition features the installation 'Zoo' (1979), created by Boetti with his children Agata and Matteo, previously known only through Giorgio Colombo's photographs. Around thirty works on paper from the mid-1960s onward, including graphite, watercolor, ink, and ballpoint pen drawings, explore nature themes with a freehand gesture atypical of Boetti's signature repetition and classification. The show spans two floors of the gallery.
