An Italian Perspective/Una Prospettiva Italiana
February 3 - March 13, 2012
Opening Reception:
Thursday, February 2, 5:30-8:00 PM
Howard Greenberg Gallery is pleased to announce An Italian Perspective/Una Prospettiva Italiana, the inaugural project/exhibition at Howard Greenberg Gallery Two. Produced in collaboration with Studio La CITTÀ (Verona), An Italian Perspective/Una Prospettiva Italiana draws on an important chapter of Italian photography, focusing on four of the leading protagonists from the 1970s to present: Luigi Ghirri (1943-1992), Gabriele Basilico (1944), Massimo Vitali (1944) and Vincenzo Castella (1952).
An Italian Perspective/Una Prospettiva Italiana presents a new context in which to consider these photographers within the history of Italian photography as each artist addresses the theme of cultural identity through topographical exploration. The exhibition investigates not only the differences in aesthetic approaches among the photographers, but also generates a dialogue concerning new views, wider perspectives, and thoughts on identity of Italian photography through unifying threads and underlying sensibilities.
