Eduardo Paolozzi Returns to Venice with Alma Zevi Gallery Show

Eduardo Paolozzi (1924-2005), the Scottish-Italian pioneer of British Pop Art, is the subject of a major solo exhibition at Alma Zevi gallery in Venice, running until December 20, 2018. Paolozzi first visited Venice in 1960 to represent Great Britain at the Venice Biennale. Nearly six decades later, his work returns to the lagoon city. The exhibition is the result of extensive archival research in Italy and abroad, offering a rare chance to rediscover his early revolutionary output, still under-recognized especially in Italy. Highlights include two rare collages from the 1940s and 1950s, prints from the portfolio General Dynamic F.U.N. (1965-70), etchings from The Ravel Suite (1974), and the experimental film The History of Nothing (1962), presented in full courtesy of The Paolozzi Foundation and the British Film Institute.
