Concetta Baldassarre Retrospective at Contemporanea 25 in Tagliacozzo

The XII edition of Contemporanea 25 in Tagliacozzo, Abruzzo, features a retrospective of Concetta Baldassarre (Sulmona, 1924 – Roma, 1981), a student of Toti Scialoja and friend of Piero Dorazio. Curated by Cesare Biasini Selvaggi, the exhibition titled "Il ritratto svelato di una vita nell'arte" is held at Palazzo Ducale Orsini-Colonna and includes about 60 works: paintings, drawings, and applied arts objects such as a 1950 table lamp in embroidered fabric and leather-covered wood. The show aims to rescue Baldassarre from obscurity, highlighting her abstract, lyrical, and classical style as defined by Dorazio. The project, initiated in 2012 by Emanuele Moretti with support from the Comune di Tagliacozzo, seeks to enhance the Abruzzo town through art and culture. The second exhibition in the rassegna features Annu Palakunnathu Matthew, creating a dialogue between past and present.
