MIART 2026: Booth F18

For this edition of Miart, ABC-ARTE presents “Trame generazionali” (“Generational Threads”), a curatorial project that brings into dialogue key figures of Italian art from the second half of the twentieth century with a new generation of artists, in line with the gallery’s mission to activate meaningful continuities between historical legacy and contemporary research.

The project is grounded in four major artists of outstanding significance: Arnaldo Pomodoro, among the most internationally recognized Italian artists, whose work has redefined contemporary sculpture in a monumental and cosmic sense; Gastone Biggi, a central figure in analytical painting and perceptual research; Nanni Valentini, who transformed ceramics into an autonomous and deeply contemporary plastic language, and whose trajectory includes an important upcoming solo exhibition at the Everson Museum, in the wake of a historical recognition also initiated through the invitation of Lucio Fontana; and Tomas Rajlich, a prominent exponent of European analytical painting, whose rigorous and meditative investigation of color and surface reinforces the dialogue between structure, perception, and temporality.

Alongside them, three emerging artists establish a direct generational comparison: Chiara Crepaldi, who explores the metamorphosis of matter as a symbolic and perceptual process; Antonio Kuschnir, creator of visual cosmologies suspended between reality and fiction, marked by a strong imaginative framework; and Filippo Moroni, whose research on velvet constructs a language grounded in physical and emotional tension.

“Trame generazionali” thus takes shape as a rigorous curatorial device, in which the legacy of the masters is reactivated through engagement with contemporary practices, reaffirming ABC-ARTE’s role as a space for dialogue between historical genealogies and the languages of the present.
