Dellupi Arte is delighted to present the Estetica. Omaggio a Michel Tapié project, a tribute to one of the most interesting personalities of the historical-artistic panorama in the second half of the twentieth century.

‘Aesthetics’ is a word that is recurrent in Tapié’s writings, as is emphasized by his own statement on the autograph plate for the first time displayed on this occasion.
The exhibition reunites important works by international artists profoundly linked to the famous French critic and curator, father to the informal and theoretical art autre[Art of Another Kind], a term he coined in 1952 to describe a new type of art: a radical break with the past and that was expanding in the post-war period all over the world.

The ‘Art Autre’ gathers artists from Japan, United States, France and Italy. On this occasion, they are reunited deliberately winking to the group exhibitions curated by Tapié himself: works by Toshimitsu Imaï dialogue with the ample colour drippings by Paul Jenkins, one of the most important American abstract artists; canvases by Georges Mathieu are placed next to the paintings by Iaroslav Serpan, both being pioneers of the Lyric Abstraction; alongside the unmistakable style of Luigi Boille stand the abstract sculptures by Franco Garelliand Angelo Bozzola, the latter a dear friend of Tapié.
